Ahmedabad: Indian middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer was taken for scans after complaining of back pain on the third day of the fourth and final Test against Australia here on Saturday.

Iyer's injury came to light after wicketkeeper-batter Srikar Bharat came out to bat ahead of him following the dismissal of Ravindra Jadeja (28) in the morning session of the fourth day.
