The
batter
has
been
struggling
with
a
recurring
lower
back
problem
for
the
last
couple
of
months,
which
has
significantly
curbed
his
availability
for
India.
Iyer
missed
out
on
two
ODI
series
against
New
Zealand
and
Australia,
while
also
missing
almost
two
Tests
in
the
Border
Gavaskar
Trophy.
As
his
back
injury
is
taking
a
toll,
the
player
may
undergo
back
surgery,
which
jeopardizes
his
availability
for
the
Indian
team
in
the
upcoming
WTC
final.
National
Cricket
Academy
(NCA)
has
recommended
Iyer
to
undergo
the
surgery,
but
the
player
is
yet
to
take
a
final
call
on
that.
The
KKR
captain
will
definitely
miss
the
IPL
2023
if
he
goes
under
the
knife,
and
may
be
short
before
WTC
final
as
the
rehab
will
require
three
months.
Amid
this,
former
India
cricketer
Ajay
Jadeja
has
been
shocked
by
the
injury
type.
IPL
2023:
Three
Captaincy
options
for
KKR
as
Shreyas
Iyer
set
to
miss
entire
IPL
Jadeja
was
at
sea
regarding
back
injury
of
a
batter
as
it
was
not
prevalent
in
the
yesteryears.
“For
three
months?
This
is
also
something
new
I
am
hearing.
Injuries
happen
all
the
time
but
back
surgery
for
a
batter?
This
is
something
I
have
never
heard
before.
Even
batsmen
are
having
back
surgeries?,”
a
surprised
Jadeja
said
on
Cricbuzz.
But
the
former
Indian
player
identified
a
potential
reason
for
all
the
new
types
of
injuries.
He
believes
the
extra
gym
work
and
tedious
muscle
trainings
are
the
reason
for
these
type
of
absurd
injuries.
“Yeh
toh
khel
se
ird
gird
ko
cheezein
judi
huyi
hai
uspe
thoda
dhyaan
dena
padega.
Yeh
jo
loha
utha
raha
hai,
faeda
toh
ho
raha
hai
uska
(This
is
associated
with
the
things
around
the
game,
and
players
have
to
be
alert
of
it.
There
are
advantages
of
weight
training),
but
we
get
to
see
the
other
side
as
well.
Hope
he
gets
well,”
he
added.
KKR
are
yet
to
take
a
call
on
Iyer’s
availability
in
the
IPL
this
year.
If
Iyer
misses
out,
it
is
to
be
seen
how
the
franchise
cope
up
as
the
Indian
batter
is
a
vital
cog
in
the
team.
