Unadkat’s injury has raised questions on his availability for the World Test Championship which begins a week after the commencement of the IPL 2023. According to media reports, the BCCI medical staff is in constant touch with the bowler and awaiting a word on whether he needs to travel to the NCA in Bengaluru. It has also been learned that the shoulder remains sore but there is no dislocation.

Speaking of Rahul’s injury, the LSG got hurt while saving a boundary on the final delivery of the second over. Faf du Plessis punched a Marcus Stoinis delivery through covers and it raced to the fence. Rahul gave it a chase before pulling up before the boundary cushions. He couldn’t save four runs but injured himself and had to leave the field limping.
