India Cricket Team is plagued with injuries right now. Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer anf KL Rahul are fighting with injuries. While there are good news about Rahul, Iyer, Bumrah and Pant as they are on the path to recovery, the chances of them being available for ICC ODI World Cup 2023 are still doubtful. This article covers a few Indian players who may miss the marquee event due to injuries.
3 Injured Indian Players Who Might Miss ICC ODI World Cup 2023
1- Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer was pulled out of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2022 when he complained of back problems. He had shown the same symptoms earlier as well and the concerned BCCI sent him to the hospital. Iyer missed the IPL 2023 and is expected to even miss the Asia Cup 2023. He has undergone a successful back surgery but his chances of getting fit are still quite doubtful. He may end up missing the complete ICC ODI World Cup 2023.

2- Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah is dealing with back injury for about two years. His injury is quite similar to Shane Bond. Unfortunately, Bond was never able to get back to his best after the back injury and the sustained problems of Bumrah are protecting a long and arduous path for him in the cricketing world. If Bumrah’s back issues continue to persist, he may not play the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
3- KL Rahul
KL Rahul injured his leg while fielding in ICC ODI World Cup 2023. He is now on the road to recovery and is expected to be back in the Indian squad by Asia Cup. However, if Samson and Kishan perform well in the series before Asia Cup then Rahul could be left out of the Indian squad for the World Cup.
