Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma announced in the last minute that batter Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the match due to back spasms. Right before the match, Iyer’s luck seems to have turned on its head yet again. “Shreyas Iyer had a back spasm during warm-up today," read a BCCI update. Iyer’s injury allowed wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul to take up the opening and represent India in the heated fixture.
