New Delhi: As the anticipation for the high-stakes clash between India and New Zealand in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 continues to build, the Indian cricket team has been hit by a double injury blow.
Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan, two crucial members of the squad, faced unexpected setbacks during their net sessions, raising questions about their availability for the upcoming match against the Kiwis.
Suryakumar Yadav’s Wrist Woe
In a dramatic turn of events during a net session, Suryakumar Yadav was struck by a full toss delivered by the team’s throwdown specialist, Raghu. The blow landed on Suryakumar’s right wrist, leaving him in considerable pain. The batter was seen applying an ice pack to his hand and was forced to exit the nets prematurely. This injury has added uncertainty to his participation in the vital showdown against New Zealand, especially given the absence of Hardik Pandya, who is also nursing an injury.
Ishan Kishan’s Unfortunate Encounter with a Honeybee
Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan, the young and talented wicket-keeper batter, had an encounter with nature’s unpredictability. While batting at the nets, Kishan was stung by a honeybee on the back of his neck. The painful incident resulted in Kishan abruptly ending his net session. After being stung, he was seen in visible discomfort and did not resume batting. Fortunately, Kishan is expected to recover swiftly from the bee sting.
