As of Friday, the second Test between India and Australia will take place at the Ferozshah Kotla. It remains to be seen whether Iyer will be able to join the team.
Shreyas Iyer, a star batter, could not play in the first Test because of a lower back injury. He is still undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy, so it is unlikely that the team management will risk playing him in a Test match directly.
As of Friday, the second Test between India and Australia will take place at the Ferozshah Kotla. It remains to be seen whether Iyer will be able to join the team.
Iyer had shared a few videos of his intensive rehabilitation program at the NCA in Bengaluru, where S Rajnikanth trained him.
Iyer is working on his strength and conditioning, but it is typical for players to play at least one domestic game before returning to the international stage.
As a result, Iyer, who hasn’t played competitive cricket in a month. Might not be immediately put into a Test match, where he might have to field for 90 overs. Crouch and stand close to the ball, and then bat for long periods of time.
Iyer’s inclusion in the Rest of India’s squad for the Irani Cup match against Madhya Pradesh from March 1 to 5 demonstrates his fitness. Ravindra Jadeja’s inclusion in the Ranji Trophy matches against Tamil Nadu, will be interesting to watch.
Jasprit Bumrah’s recovery from a stress fracture has been slow. So the Indian team is unlikely to risk playing him in the three one-day internationals against Australia following the conclusion of the four-match Test series.
Both the central ODI World Cup in India at the end of the year and the potential World Test Championship final at the Oval in London from June 7-11 will require Bumrah.
As a result, it’s possible that Bumrah will play again this year for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Where his workload will be monitored.
Jadeja and Pujara work hard at Jamtha Ravindra Jadeja were back in the nets for an optional training session. At the VCA Stadium in Jamtha less than 48 hours after he won the ‘Player of the Match
award in the first Test. This was in preparation for the second Test, which starts Friday in Delhi.
Jadeja did bat and bowl at the nets with senior batter Cheteshwar Pujara. Who will play his 100th Test at the Ferozshah Kotla? He took seven wickets, including a five-for and a polished 70.
While KS Bharat worked on his keeping and batting skills, Jaydev Unadkat. Who will fly to Kolkata on Tuesday to play Bengal in the Ranji Trophy final, also rolled his arm over?
After the Nagpur Test, the groundsmen had watered the track. So the Australian team was unable to train at the center wicket. Instead, they had a long session on the match strip that day.
Marnus Labuschagne was seen keeping wickets from the spinners in a few social media photos.
He also invited the local net bowlers and had a 20-minute knock while he bowled at the nets.
According to sources in the DDCA, the Indian team management has not given any specific instructions regarding the preparation of the track.
Contrary to what the Australian media has speculated. It has been learned that the ground staff of the DDCA has not yet stopped watering the strip at the Ferozshah Kotla.
