Shryeas Iyer also had a back issue, which ruled him out of the IPL and WTC final. Meanwhile, KL Rahul injured his shoulder during an IPL game, and since then, he has been out. On the other hand, star wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant suffered a car accident in December 2022 and has been another one to miss out.
