India are digging themselves into a hole in ODI cricket as they have been clueless as to what their playing XI would look like. The constant change of captains has not helped either as Rohit Sharma has led the side in a very less number of ODIs. They lost the ODI series against New Zealand 1-0 and also the first ODI against Bangladesh.

India also have another growing issue which has become a menace in recent times and that has been injuries. Ahead of the ODI series against Bangladesh, Mohammed Shami did not play in the series due to a shoulder injury as per reports. Injuries have been plaguing the Men in Blue as Rohit Sharma joined the injury list as he was hit on his left thumb in the second over while fielding.

To add to India’s woes, the bowling attack has been hit by injuries yet again as Kuldeep Sen was deemed unfit for the second ODI and also Deepak Chahar and injuries have been having a strong bond of late. Deepak suffered a hamstring injury yet again while bowling and then could not bowl later in the innings.

Rohit has been getting injured very frequently and also has had to deal with fitness issues. He has not led the Indian Team for a long time despite being named as full-time captain across all three formats. His patchy form with the bat has only made things worse. Chahar has been having issues with his hamstring again after he missed the Indian T20 League 2022 and also the 20-20 World Cup in Australia due to a hamstring problem.

It appears that Indian players have shelved their fitness regimes ever since Virat Kohli left the captaincy. Rohit himself has not set a good example with him having fitness issues all the time. The Indian Team are going through a turbulent phase, and they will need something special to lift them out of it. A lot of cricket experts have said that if the players need a break, then they can take it during the Indian T20 League.
