Ishan Kishan Back Injury Raises Afghanistan Series Concerns
Ishan Kishan hurt his back while practicing for India’s upcoming matches against Afghanistan.
A fast bowler named Navdeep Saini bowled a short ball toward him.
Kishan tried to move away from the ball but felt pain in his back.
A team physiotherapist checked him at once.
Kishan then left practice and did not return to batting.
Doctors and team staff will learn more after he rests for 24 hours.
This creates uncertainty about whether he can play in the first T20I.
