Shreyas Iyer finds himself in the spotlight for mixed reasons, currently competing for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy 2024 Final. However, there are concerns regarding his participation in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) due to a recurring back injury.
During his impressive 95-run innings against Vidarbha, Iyer experienced discomfort from his old back injury, for which he underwent surgery in 2023. Despite treatment from the Mumbai team physio, he may miss the final day of the Ranji Trophy final and potentially the initial IPL matches. This raises the question: Can Shreyas Iyer play in IPL 2024?
A BCCI source voiced concerns over Iyer’s condition, hinting at his possible sidelining for the IPL season’s start. This setback comes amidst Iyer’s recent omission from the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s Central Contract list, adding another layer to the story.
Despite receiving clearance from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) medical panel, speculations persist regarding the extent of Iyer’s injury, particularly given his previous complaints during India’s Test series against England. This conflicting information fuels questions about Shreyas Iyer’s injury history and IPL participation.
