Team India’s problems increased due to the injury of players:-

Team India is also battling injury concerns of two of its key players ahead of the WTC final.

KL Rahul has pulled a hamstring and his chances of being ruled out of the WTC have increased to a great extent. The LSG captain has already been ruled out of the IPL 2023 season.

However, in the WTC, Rahul was ready to play a key role in the middle order for the team. Apart from this, Rahul is also the second wicketkeeper in the team along with KS Bharat. Apart from Rahul, Jaydev Unadkat’s fitness will also be closely monitored.

Fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat had injured his shoulder and is now undergoing rehabilitation at NCA. The BCCI is hopeful that Unadkat will regain full fitness before the WTC final.

Along with the 15-member squad, the BCCI has also named five standby players. If either Rahul or Unadkat is ruled out of the final match, then the standby players can be included in the main team.
