Team India cricketer Dinesh Karthik suffered a back injury against South Africa on Sunday, October 30 at the Perth Stadium in the 2022 T20 World Cup. His injury has put his participation in jeopardy for the Bangladesh match, which will take place on Wednesday, November 2 in Adelaide.
Dinesh Karthik has not been able to make much of an impact in the tournament so far. He has struggled to make runs, managing only seven runs in two innings. The wicket-keeper batter suffered an injury against South Africa and was writing in pain, at the end of the 15th over. Dinesh Karthik had to walk off the field.
“Karthik felt pain in his lower back. We haven’t heard about the severity of his back spasm. The medical team is working to get him fit as heat treatment and massaging help reduce the discomfort, quickly. So don’t rule him out yet,” a senior BCCI official privy to the development told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
