Mumbai: Ahead of the upcoming ICC World Test Championship (WTC) finals, Indian team management battles with a number of injuries in the squad.
The Indian side was handed yet another blow during the clash between RCB and LSG when informing pacer Jaydev Unadkat suffered an injury in the net sessions.
On the other hand, LSG skipper KL Rahul while chasing a ball in the second over of the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, hurt either his right hamstring or quadriceps.
Unadkat was bowling in the nets around the wicket when his left foot got caught in the rope holding the netting up during his follow-through. He took a bad tumble and injured his elbow; he was observed wearing a sling and having an ice pack applied to his left shoulder.
This comes as a major blow for the side as they plan to face the Aussies at the iconic venue of The Oval on June 7-11.
Head Coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma are likely to explore other options as a replacement for KL Rahul if he fails to recover ahead of the finals.
However, the extent of both injuries is yet to be ascertained and confirmed by the team management.
As a replacement for Jaydev Unadkat, the team might include Arshdeep Singh or right-arm pacer Mukesh Kumar in the side. Umesh Yadav was out of the last KKR encounter owing to a niggle.
