Indian cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the upcoming 2023 ODI World Cup, but the fitness of some of their star players remains uncertain. Jasprit Bumrah, who underwent major surgery last year, has not played any competitive cricket for several months and may make a comeback during the Ireland T20Is in August 2023. Rishabh Pant, who was injured in an accident on New Year’s Eve, is still recovering, with no update on his return to cricket. Meanwhile, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have both undergone surgery and are currently at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru for rehabilitation.
With less than four months left before the Asia Cup, people are worried about these players’ fitness levels. KL Rahul, who underwent surgery on his right thigh in May this year, might not get fit on time for the upcoming tournament. India is hoping for a first ICC trophy since 2013, but that will only be possible if all the team’s star players are fully fit and available to play.
India faced several injuries during the 2019 ODI World Cup, including star batter Shikhar Dhawan and allrounder Vijay Shankar, who were both affected midway through the event. Thus, India cannot afford to lose their best players this time around.
The West Indies tour is coming up soon after a month-long break, and the Indian team will be back in action. However, it will take some time for Bumrah, Pant, Rahul, and Iyer to recuperate and make their way back to the field. Hopefully, India’s star players will be able to get fit and play to the best of their ability at the upcoming tournaments.
It remains to be seen how these players’ recovery pans out and when they will be back in action. Fans hope for a quick recovery for all their favorite stars. The Indian team hopes their stars recover quickly to play in the upcoming tournaments and bring glory to the nation once again.
