It's been almost two months since KL Rahul was inflicted with a disastrous injury that not only ended his IPL 2023 campaign but also scrapped his name from the World Test Championship Final squad.

Like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer also had gone through surgery to recover from back issues. Both Iyer and Rahul are seeking full fitness ahead of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The duo could turn out to be key for Team India in the upcoming World Cup. So, with less than 100 days left before the start of the eminent tournament, will KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer make it into the mix on time? 

While Rahul and Iyer may make their way in, but when it comes to other big names like Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah, the suspense is intact. According to PTI, Bumrah has been bowling 7 overs in the NCA nets.
