The Toll of the Game: Injuries in IPL 2023

While Ipl 2024's player auction is right down the corner, we look back for the players injured in previous season.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a high-octane tournament, where cricketers push their physical and mental limits to entertain millions. But amidst the thrilling sixes and acrobatic catches, there lurks a silent threat – injuries.

IPL 2023 was no different. From star players like Jasprit Bumrah and Shreyas Iyer to rising talents like Mukesh Choudhary, the injury bug bit hard this season.

Unfortunately, there's no official, centralized data source for injuries in IPL 2023. However, based on various news articles and reports, here's an estimate of the number of players who got injured:

Jasprit Bumrah, Jhye Richardson (Mumbai Indians): Mumbai Indians faced a blow before the season commenced with Bumrah's back stress fracture sidelining him for the entire IPL. Richardson's left hamstring injury added to Mumbai's woes, affecting their performance.

Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals): A car accident in December 2022 cast doubts on Pant's participation. His absence as skipper and a key batsman has been deeply felt, contributing to Delhi Capitals' winless streak.

Jonny Bairstow (Punjab Kings): Bairstow's injury just before IPL 2023 deprived Punjab Kings of an explosive batsman they invested significantly in, affecting their match starts.

Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders): Known for his batting prowess, Iyer's back injury led to his tournament exclusion, and he is scheduled for surgery.

Prasidh Krishna (Rajasthan Royals): Krishna, a pivotal bowler for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2022, faced a lumbar stress fracture, ruling him out of IPL 2023.
