During the fifth day of the Ranji Trophy final at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, Shreyas Iyer remained off-field for a second consecutive day, troubled by a recurring lower back injury. The Mumbai batter, who is also the captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2024, also missed fielding on the fourth day with Amogh Bhatkal filling in for him.
Mumbai’s team manager, Bhushan Patil, assured that Iyer’s back pain had improved, expecting his return on the following day. However, uncertainty looms over his participation in IPL 2024. Updates on his fitness remain scarce from Mumbai’s camp.
Playing in only the first two Tests of the England series, Shreyas Iyer exited early due to a recurring back problem.
