The 30-year-old injured his right leg while rushing to preserve a boundary, which might keep him out of action for a long period of time.
There is a very little probability that the stumper-batter will play in the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval starting on June 7, despite the fact that neither LSG management nor the BCCI have officially approved it.

According to rumors, the cricket player from Mangalore may have a hip or hamstring problem. KL Rahul underwent hernia surgery in Germany ten months prior; therefore, all relevant circumstances will be taken into account when he returns. Ishan Kishan, though, would probably take his position in the Indian team if he were to be disqualified from the WTC final.
The 24-year-old wicketkeeper-batter competed for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but has been removed from the team as it prepares to compete for the 2022–2023 World Test Championship.
