The Times of India report suggests that Shreyas Iyer underwent successful surgery for his back issue. The right-handed batter needs three months of rest before he can resume his training. Iyer wanted to keep him fit before the start of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, which is scheduled to be played at home later this year.

“Shreyas underwent a successful surgery on Tuesday in London. In fact, he walked a bit too yesterday,” a source told as quoted by TOI.

Nitish Rana was named the captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders as the interim captain for the IPL 2023 in the absence of Shreyas Iyer. The Kolkata-based franchise hasn’t played well in the ongoing season, having won only two games out of six matches. Iyer’s absence made the KKR batting lineup weak with a few Indian batters.
