Meanwhile, Green, the Australian all-rounder, was struck on the left elbow by a sharp delivery from Hardik Pandya in the second over of Mumbai’s innings. Despite the blow, Green displayed resilience and joined the batting lineup in the sixth over after the fall of Tilak Verma.
Green’s all-round abilities are crucial to Australia’s prospects in the upcoming WTC final.
The injuries to Kishan and Green have raised concerns for both teams ahead of the highly anticipated World Test Championship final, scheduled to be held at The Oval in London from June 7. The status of their availability for the prestigious match remains uncertain, and both teams will closely monitor the players’ recovery in the coming days.
