Massive Blow! Star Indian Player Pratika Rawal Ruled Out Of ICC Women's World Cup 2025 Due To Injury: Reports

In a major setback for the Indian women’s cricket team, star player Pratika Rawal has been ruled out of the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup following an injury sustained during the last league match against Bangladesh.

The incident occurred when Rawal attempted to stop a ball heading toward the ropes. In her effort, her leg got stuck awkwardly in the turf and twisted at an unnatural angle, leaving her visibly in discomfort. Play was halted immediately as teammates and medical staff rushed to check on her.

Rawal had been in superb form throughout the competition, contributing crucial runs in the top order. Her consistency and calm presence on the field made her one of India’s most reliable performers.

With the knockout stages approaching, India will need to quickly adjust their strategy and find balance in the lineup as they look to continue their strong run in the tournament without one of their key players.
