IND vs BAN: Injured pacers still a concern for Indian team management and skipper

Men in Blue are all set to take on Bangladesh in the three match ODI series which begins tomorrow at 11:30 pm. This is for the first time that the entire ODI squad will be seen together after July at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur in Dhaka.

Senior players like KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Regular captain Rohit Sharma will be joining the team after being rested post the T20 World Cup 2022. Even the young players have touched down Bangladesh after playing the T20 and ODI series against New Zealand.

With just less than 2 months left for the ODI World Cup 2023, Indian team would want to win every game and play the perfect host for the big ICC tournament. But seems like problem of the injured Indian pacers is long term now. This morning Mohammed Shami was ruled out of the India vs Bangladesh ODI series due to hand injury and young fast bowler Umran Malik will be seen replacing him.

On the other hand Jasprit Bumrah is yet not fully recovered and the team had to face the consequences of his absence in big tournaments like Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup. However, young bowlers like Mohammad Siraj, Deepak Chahar, Shahbaz Ahmed and Umran Malik have a golden chance to prove their caliber against Bangladesh.

The Indian team management and the skipper need to come up with better plans, But most importantly the Board of Cricket Control in India need to find the problem behind regular injuries to the Indian pacers. Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal returned from NCA post recovery.

Ravindra Jadeja is still not fully recovered and Deepak Chahar is just returning from an injury. The Indian team management needs to have some serious discussion with Head coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma for better solutions.

The BCCI had initially claimed that KL Rahul has reached 90% match fitness and he is making steady progress under the supervision of the BCCI medical team. Later it was decided that they should consult a specialist in England. As a result Rahul went abroad to England for an expert opinion.

Shreyas Iyer who had missed out the last 2 days of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy finals due to back issues had also been declared fit to play the IPL  but on a condition. The Kolkata Knight Riders captain has been advised that he cannot lunge too much while playing the forward defense as this may worsen his injury.

The former Gujarat Titans captain said, the fact that Rohit Sharma is the captain of Team India benefits him, he just carrys on what Sharma accomplished with this team. Hardik said he knows he will always have Sharma’s hand on his shoulder because he has played under him in his entire career.

Hardik said that he only likes to think on the things he can control, despite the fact that the fans’ feelings over the captaincy change conflict have occasionally been unpleasant.

He continued saying, he is going to bowl. Although he respects the feelings of fans, but there are things he cannot control. He said, he appreciate them, but he’ll concentrate on his duties as captain.

In response to a question about whether he and Rohit had spoken since the captaincy switch, Hardik said that the Hitman’s continues travels had prevented them from having a meaningful conversation.
