Both players injured after home side’s defeat in first Test‘We’ve given them something to think about,’ says Wood
England’s prospects in India have received a significant further boost with both Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul ruled out of the home side for the second Test that starts in Visakhapatnam on Friday.
As well as leading his side to an astonishing 28-run victory in the first Test, Ben Stokes may have inflicted another significant blow after his athletic backhanded run-out of Jadeja on the fourth day. The all-rounder walked off clutching his left hamstring and a scan confirmed the injury, albeit with India not stating publicly its severity.
