Team India suffered another setback!
Akashdeep, the hero of the historic victory of the Edgbaston Test for the Indian team and who took 10 wickets, went out of the field after bowling a spell after lunch on the fourth day of the Lord’s Test. He took treatment from the physio on the boundary line for a long time but after that he went out of the field. According to Sanjay Manjrekar, who is doing commentary, his back issue is quite old.

How serious is this injury?
Earlier in IPL 2025 also, he was out for the same reason in the first half. Perhaps this could be the reason that he did not get a spell with the new ball and Siraj took over. Only the upcoming update can tell how serious this injury of Akashdeep is. But often the back issues that happen with bowlers do not go away so quickly. Bumrah is also playing now after struggling with this problem for years. His workload management is still going on. Apart from this, Jofra Archer has also been struggling with this problem for England for years. He has made a comeback in Tests after four years in this match.

The team may miss Akash
Akashdeep is definitely a useful person in Team India’s bowling order at the moment. He took 10 wickets at Edgbaston. However, he could not get a wicket in the first innings at Lord’s. But in the second innings, he gave a big success to Team India by taking the wicket of the aggressive number 1 Test batsman Harry Brook. In such a situation, if he is not able to be fit for the remaining second innings, then Team India will definitely miss him.
