KL Rahul had a difficult time in IPL 2023, continuing his poor form across all formats of the game. Despite his struggles, he was included in the squad for the World Test Championship final, even after being dropped from the Test side following a series of failures in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The injuries to Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant may have contributed to his retention in the squad.

Ishan Kishan has been named as the backup wicketkeeper for the Indian team in the upcoming World Test Championship final, following the injury of KL Rahul. Along with Kishan, the selectors have also included Ruturaj Gaikwad, Mukesh Kumar and Suryakumar Yadav as the reserve players for the marquee clash that is set to commence on June 7 in London.

According to a statement released by the BCCI, Jaydev Unadkat suffered a left shoulder injury during a net session when he tripped over the side rope while bowling. The left-arm fast bowler is currently undergoing strength and rehab sessions for his shoulder at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru after seeking specialist consultation. The BCCI stated that a decision on his participation in the WTC final will be made at a later stage.

Umesh Yadav suffered a minor left hamstring injury during Match 36 of the IPL 2023 between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders on April 26. Currently, the fast bowler is being treated by the KKR Medical Team and has started low-intensity bowling as part of his rehab process. The BCCI Medical Team is closely monitoring Umesh’s progress by keeping in touch with the KKR Medical Team.
