There seems to be no end to the injury concerns of the Indian team on the ongoing tour of Australia continued in Brisbane as Navdeep Saini walked off the field after complaining of “pain in his groin” on Day 1 of the ongoing fourth Test and has been taken for scans on Friday. Bowling the 36th over of the match, Saini managed to square up Marnus Labuschagne but unfortunately, the Indian skipper, Ajinkya Rahane dropped a sitter at gully.

More than the catch, Team Indian was looking in backfoot as Saini was seen on the ground, in discomfort. The Indian physio Nitin Patel rushed on the field to check on Saini and after some assessment, the Indian pacer was then seen going back to the changing room.
