World Cup bound Kedar Jadhav on Sunday hurt his left shoulder while fielding during Chennai Super Kings IPL game against Kings XI Punjab here, with head coach Stephen Fleming virtually ruling him out of the play-off matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked if there was any update on Kedar, Fleming said at a\n post-match press conference, “He is getting an X-ray and a scan \ntomorrow.””We are hopeful for him although I don’t think we will see him\n again in this tournament for us. He is in some discomfort, but we just \nneed to be accurate with our assessments tomorrow. Fingers crossed that \nit is nothing serious, but it did not look that good,” Fleming gave an \nopen-ended reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pint-sized cricketer didn’t bowl a lot in \nIPL unlike he doe for India and it has been learnt that his dodgy \nhamstring is one of the reasons for that as an aggravation could have \naffected his World Cup chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It could be safely concluded that\n Kedar is not being risked as BCCI has blanket instructions that any \ninjury to World Cup bound players will be given utmost priority. With \nexactly a month left for India’s first game, the BCCI will not risk the \nveteran Maharashtra all-rounder, who is a vital cog in Virat Kohli’s \nPlan A for the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kedar hurt his shoulder while diving \nnear the boundary ropes to save an overthrow in the 14th over bowled by \nDwayne Bravo who failed to collect the throw from Ravindra Jadeja. \n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
