Royal Challengers Bangalore started their campaign in IPL 2023 by beating Mumbai Indians. Virat Kohli and Faf Duplesey scored half-centuries and RCB won the match by 8 wickets based on their stormy batting. However, with this victory, RCB has also come under tension, as the number of its injured players has reached close to 4.
Will Jacques has already been ruled out of the tournament due to injury. Josh Hazlewood is also injured and he is also likely to join the team in April. At the same time, explosive batsman Rajat Patidar is also injured and due to injury, he could not play in the first match as well. Now another RCB player has been injured.
Injured while fielding
Fast bowler Reece Topley was injured while fielding against Mumbai Indians. Not only this, the team is also facing the fear of being thrown out of the entire tournament. Topley bowled Mumbai's most expensive player Cameron Green in his second over, but then in the 8th over he was injured while fielding at short fine leg and was taken out of the field.
Scan during match
Topley's shoulder is hurt. Now RCB wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has given an update on his injury. Karthik said that Topley's shoulder was dislocated and he was taken for a scan in the middle of the match. Karthik said that he was not in as much pain as it seemed. The RCB star also said that he cannot give any update on his fitness right now. Everyone will have to wait.
