With treatment, he has pulled up really well – Rahul Dravid on Dinesh Karthik Ahead of India vs Bangladesh Clash

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik sustained a back injury during the India-South Africa clash in Perth. At the end of the 15th over of the South Africa innings, Karthik was seen writhing in pain as he clutched his back and was on his knees. The physio immediately came out to check on the veteran player and after a few minutes, Karthik was seen walking off the field while holding his back.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference, India National Cricket Team head coach Rahul Dravid provided an update on Dinesh Karthik.

“He has pulled up really well today. Unfortunately, he had a spasm when he jumped to collect the ball and he landed badly and landed in a way that he did his back a little bit.

“But, with treatment, he has pulled up really well, and he has come to training. We will be assessing it and we will see how it goes. We will put him through his paces and ensure we have given him a good workout and see how he goes tomorrow morning and we will take a final decision,” said Dravid.
