Jaydev Unadkat recovers from injury ahead of World Test Championship final, flies to London

The second edition of the World Test Championship (WTC) final will be played between India and Australia, at The Oval, in London, from June 7 to June 11. Notably, the Rohit Sharma-led side suffered multiple injury woes after the squad for the mega event was announced. 

One of India's biggest concerns in the one-off Test will be the absence of the star opener, KL Rahul. The wicketkeeper-batter sustained an injury during a match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL 2023 and was forced to pull out from the Test match.

Apart from Rahul, the left-arm pacer, Jaydev Unadkat, also suffered a shoulder injury while bowling in the nets for LSG in Lucknow, earlier this month. After suffering the injury, he sought medical advice from the BCCI personnel, had scans performed, and afterwards travelled to the National Cricket Academy (NCA), in Bengaluru for rehabilitation to regain his fitness.

However, he has fully recovered from his injury ahead of the WTC final. On Sunday, May 28, the 31-year-old pacer, shared a picture of himself on a flight bound for London on his official Instagram handle.

"WTC!" Unadkat captioned his post.
