India batter Shreyas Iyer has reportedly complained of pain in his lower back on Saturday morning as the India vs Australia 4th Test heads into the fourth day in Ahmedabad. It has been learned that the batter has been taken to the hospital for scans and is being currently monitored by the BCCI medical team.
Shreyas Iyer was expected to bat at no 6 after all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja lost his wicket to Australia spinner Todd Murphy in the morning session on day four of the ongoing Ahmedabad Test. However, the spectators and the commentators were surprised to see KS Bharat walking out ahead of Iyer and joining Virat Kohli in the middle.
