Double Blow for India! Star All-Rounder & Fast Bowler Ruled Out Before High-Stakes England Test – Will This Crush India’s Comeback Hopes?
As Team India gears up for the crucial 4th Test Match against England at Old Trafford starting July 23, fans have been hit with a shocking double injury blow that could change the entire course of the series!
Shock Exit: Reddy & Arshdeep OUT!
In a devastating turn of events, Nitish Kumar Reddy, India’s rising all-rounder and a key player in the current Test squad, has been ruled out of the remainder of the series due to a serious knee ligament injury.
Adding to India’s worries, speedster Arshdeep Singh has also been sidelined with a thumb injury suffered during practice. This one-two punch has left Indian fans stunned and management scrambling for solutions.
🔗 Sources confirm both exits are officially acknowledged by BCCI and ICC.
