India’s middle order batter Shreyas Iyer complained of back pain and was taken for scans on the crucial day of the fourth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia at Ahmedabad. When Srikar Bharat came ahead of Shreyas Iyer to bat on day 4, the middle order batter’s injury came to light. The Mumbai-based batter also missed the first Test in Nagpur due to a back injury but then he came back for the second test that took place in Delhi.
“Shreyas Iyer complained of pain in his lower back following the third day’s play. He has gone for scans and the BCCI Medical Team is monitoring him,” BCCI said in a medical update.

Earlier, Australia scored a huge 480 runs in their first innings with the help of special knocks by Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green. The opening batter scored a huge 180 runs while Green scored his maiden Test century against India. In reply, India started well with Gill and Rohit stitching a 74-run partnership with Rohit Sharma. Soon after Rohit departed, Gill made a 113-run stand with Pujara who also contributed with a well made 42.
The Punjab-based batter went on to make his second Test century before getting out. Within just under three months, Gill proved his worth after getting six centuries (two tons in Tests, three centuries including a double ton in 50-overs format, and a ton in T20 Internationals) across formats.
On day 4, Virat Kohli is batting on the score of 76 with Srikar Bharat on 18. Fans are waiting for Kohli to make it big as he has not scored a century since 2019.
