Mohali: World Cup bound Kedar Jadhav on Sunday hurt his left shoulder while fielding during Chennai Super Kings IPL game against Kings XI Punjab, with head coach Stephen Fleming virtually ruling him out of the play-off matches.
Asked if there was any update on Kedar, Fleming said, “He is getting an X-ray and a scan (done) tomorrow. We are hopeful for him although I don’t think we will see him again in this tournament for us.”
It could be safely concluded that Kedar is not being risked as BCCI has blanket instructions that any injury to World Cup bound players will be given utmost priority.
With exactly a month left for India’s first game, the BCCI will not risk the veteran Maharashtra all-rounder, who is a vital cog in Virat Kohli’s Plan A for the World Cup. (PTI)
