The Indian cricket team recently had a major loss in their batting team as one of their recent best opening batsman Prithvi Shaw was ruled out of the Test series to be played against Australia on 6th December before the 1st Test against Australia due to an ankle injury.

Shaw injured his left ankle in the warm up match against Aussies while he was fielding in ground landing on his left ankle twisted and fell in to the ground. Due to this process, Shaw was in so much pain that he couldn't even take any force on his left ankle or leg nor being able to bare the pain & he was forced to carry out of the ground in order to prevent any pressure on his ankle. India physio Patrick Farhat quickly rushed to him and Shaw was taken to hospital for scans.
