INDIAN PLAYERS & THEIR INJURIES

Here is list of players who have got injured in the current series :


1) Zaheer Khan :


If sachin tendulkar has been heart of Indian cricket , Zaheer Khan has been backbone of Indian bowling line up. Without him Indian bowling looks spine less . India got biggest blow of the series when zaheer got his hamstring pulled in very first match , very first innings. India didn’t recover from the blow and it showed how weak our side is without him. We can still win matches without any one distinguished batsman but without zaheer in the bowling attack , it becomes less probable for us to take 20 wickets in test format.


2) Ishant Sharma :


Ishant has got everything in him to make him lethal bowler. Ricky Pointing considered Ishan’t spell in one of matches against australia as one of best single spell he faced in long career. Ishant has not utilized his full potential and has been brilliant in bits and pieces but he along with zaheer can provide good combination. He is out due to Ligament injury in the left ankle.


3) Virender Shewag :


India missed him in present series. He was selected despite fitness issue. He had got operated due to shoulder injury. Sad part of story is he was suffering since long and had decided to get himself operatedafter world cup but his bosses of IPL didnt seem to like the idea and so shewag choosed to play for IPL rather than getting operated. Result is in front of us. Shewag is again out due to Shoulder injury and labyrinthithis of the left ear.


4) Gautam Gambhir :


He has been most consistent batsman in last two years for India. Like V V S Laxman he is expected to come up with solid innings in test arena. He got injured first in his elbow and was forced to sit out in next match. He again got injured when he got his head banged while trying to take a catch. Currently he is sufferingtemporary blur image and continuous headache hinder his ability to concentrate.


5) Yuvraj Singh:


Pappu can’t play test saala. The prince of Indian Cricket team who played extremely important role in India lifting the world cup 2011 , was found clueless against bouncers in front of england. He got fractured index finger as a result.


6) Harbhajan Singh :


He is expected to take wickets , especially after anil kumble call the day. But his form is under question and his ability to take wickets too is under scrutiny. Knowing harbhajan singh he would bounce back but as far as current series goes he has had disastrous tour taking only two wickets and giving 280 plus runs in two test matches.


7) Sachin Tendulkar :


Sachin tendulkar was expected to get his 100th century in this series. It didnt happen and barring for resolute 50 in one of test innings he looked far from his own self. He was ruled out on one day series due to toe injury.


8) Rohit Sharma :


Rohit sharma was called in for one day series but was soon ruled out due to injury . There is crack in his finger.
