Shreyas Iyer doubtful for Rajkot test
According to a media report, Iyer is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for his injury.
Rahul Bose's upcoming biopic Poorna, which is based on the life of Poorna Malavath who scaled the Mount Everest at the age of 13, was screened specially for the Indian Cricket team.
Bose was keen to show his film to Indian Cricket captain Virat Kohli because he believed that Virat would identify with the core of the story.
"When I spoke to Virat, he suggested that I speak to Anil bhai (coach Anil Kumble) and ask him if all the boys could watch the film with him before their Test Match in Pune," Rahul said.
