Shreyas Iyer meets Ben Chilwell at Stamford Bridge
Star Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer has been off the field since March 2023 due to a recurring back injury. The 28-year-old was recently spotted with footballer Ben Chilwell who was seen presenting a Chelsea jersey to the stylish batsman with Shreyas’ name printed on the back.
Iyer had made a visit to Chelsea’s home ground ‘Stamford Bridge’ on Wednesday, April 26 where he met the star footballer. The football club will also release an episode featuring the cricketer titled ‘Blues in India’ which will go live in coming days.
Meanwhile, Iyer was ruled out of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 due to his recurring back injury. The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) shared an update on his fitness earlier this month and stated that the cricketer will be undergoing a back surgery in the last week of April and will remain under the surgeon’s care for two weeks before returning to the NCA for rehabilitation.
According to a report by Times of India, the cricketer underwent a successful back surgery in London on April 18 and is expected to be fit for the ODI World Cup 2023 scheduled to take place in India in October-November. However, Iyer will miss the World Test Championship 2023 Final scheduled to take place at The Oval in London from June 7.
