Watch: Shreyas Iyer Dances After Mumbai's Ranji Trophy Win. Internet Talks About Back Pain

The Mumbai cricket team won a record-extending 42nd Ranji Trophy on Thursday. With a 169-run win over Vidarbha, the Ajinkya Rahane-led lifted the trophy. The fate of the final -- Mumbai's 48th in the 90 years of the tournament's history -- at the iconic Wankhede Stadium was sealed when the hosts set a 538-run target for the visiting team. Vidarbha captain Akshay Wadkar (102) and the unheralded Harsh Dubey (65) kept Mumbai at bay for the entire first session on the last day after Vidarbha resumed on 248 for five, needing another 290 runs to win.

The team was eventually bowled out for 368 in a contest that ebbed and flowed with Vidarbha frustrating the hosts for long periods of play on the last two days.

After the win, Mumbai batter Shreyas Iyer could be seen dancing. He had made a crucial 95 for Mumbai in  the final. Iyer suffered back spasms during his 95-run knock and had to be checked twice by the Mumbai team physio. He also did not take the field for Mumbai on Wednesday.

A report in Times of India claimed that Iyer may miss the initial matches of the IPL 2024 due to the back spasms. In 2023, Iyer underwent surgery due to the same injury and the recent development can rule him out of the first few matches of IPL 2024.  “It is not looking good. It is the same back injury which has got aggravated. It is unlikely he will take the field on Day 5 of the Ranji Trophy final. He is in danger of missing the initial matches of the IPL,” a source told Times Of India in the report.

After the dance video went viral, several social media users asked about the status of his back pain .

What happened to back injury?

Wish the back news thing is nothing serious and he has a great IPL season...important for KKR and his own career.
