Indian Cricket has off-late seen many injuries. Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out of the ODI series against the West Indies because he has injured his knee. If his injury recovers in time, he might be available for the last two games, or else if the case worsens, he will miss them all. This means that the Indian Cricket Vice-Captain is not available for the series. In recent times we have seen many players get injured. The frequency of injuries has increased. But why is it so? Here is a look:?



<h2>Indian Cricket Schedule is Jam Packed:&nbsp;</h2>



With all the word around the scheduling of international games in recent times and how tight the schedule is players are bound to get injured. Earlier a series?was played once in 2 months. But today the number of games has increased by four-folds. We have a game every 3 to 4 days. Add to that the advent of franchise cricket. Every year, our very own IPL requires a two-month window in which the teams are always on the run. ?



So, players like T Natarajan, Varun Chakravarthy, Deepak Chahar, Washington Sundar, and other injury-prone prospects find it difficult to recover in time. The franchise sport has games even on alternate days. This just defines how tight the schedule is. The games end at 12 in the night and the players get minimum to no recovery time. ?



<h2>Indian Cricket Injury List:&nbsp;</h2>



Here is a look at the players who have been injured in recent times:&nbsp;



1) T Natarajan (Injury after IPL 2022)? 2) Rahul Chahar (Announced Not Fit for selection on South Africa Tour)? 3) Deepak Chahar (Announced Unfit for Selection During IPL 2022)? 4) Washington Sundar (Injury in the middle of the IPL 2022 season)? 5) Ruturaj Gaikwad (Injured Just Before the Match in the Nets)? 6) Umesh Yadav (Hamstring Pulled During Sydney?Test Match)? 7) Navdeep Saini (Hamstring Pulled During Gabba Test Match)? 8) Ajinkya Rahane (Injured During New Zealand Tour of India 2021)? 9) Hardik Pandya (Lower Back Recovery took 2 Years)? 10) KL Rahul (Has Been Having Groin Niggle Since 2020)? 11) Rohit Sharma (Left and Right Hamstring Injuries)? 12) Suryakumar Yadav (Broken Finger During IPL 2022)? 13) Varun Chakravarthy (Injured Knee During IPL 2021, 2022)? 14) Kuldeep Yadav (Injured Before India Tour of England 2022)? 15) Shubman Gill (Injured Before the India Tour of South Africa 2022)? 16) Mayank Agarwal (Injured Before India Tour of England 2021)? 17) Ravichandra Ashwin (Stiff Back)?



The intention is to not exaggerate but to throw light on the dismal condition of the players. They are entertainers and their fitness needs to be taken care of. Apart from the physical pressure, the players also need to deal with mental pressure. The rotation policy of England Cricket was truly justified because many players are injured. ?



<h2>Players are picked from Small Towns of the Country:&nbsp;</h2>



Cricket earlier was a rich man?s sport. Only the big-town boys were picked. Bangalore, Mumbai, and Baroda were top hubs for cricket. Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Gujarat were the 3 states giving the best players. Punjab at times made a few contributions. But ever since the advent of a good scouting system we are selecting boys from the smaller towns. MSD from Ranchi, Rishabh Pant from Roorkee, Natarajan from Salem, Siraj from the chawls of Hyderabad, Navdeep Saini from Karnal, and many such players. ?

IMG SRC: IndiaTV News</figcaption></figure>



The fact is that these players do not have access to top-quality meals from an early age. Their nutrition is short of the essential nutrients that a sportsperson requires. This makes their development stage in jeopardy. And when the time comes to perform, they put stress on their muscles. So, with the development of a scouting system, the next goal of the BCCI is to get these boys to the proper nutrition and recovery facilities. And slowly but steadily the BCCI management will get there. ?

Indian Cricket: Why Are Players Getting Frequently Injured? Ravindra Jadeja Injury 2022 Update.

indian-cricket-why-are-players-getting-frequently-injured-ravindra-jadeja-injury-2022-update

KL Rahul, the poster boy of Indian cricket is under immense scrutiny from the cricket experts in India. And these are not just experts who have never touched a bat and a ball. But former players and analysts of the game. Venkatesh Prasad, Ajay Jadeja, and Robin Uthappa have been vocal about their concern for KL Rahul?s form and intent off-late. Here is an in-depth look at the same:&nbsp;



<h2>KL Rahul Criticized Heavily for his Poor Performance:&nbsp;</h2>



These are a few lines that the pundits had to say about Rahul. Robin Uthappa in an interview with ESPNCricinfo said, ?Both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul played at a slower rate than they probably would have liked to bat at. He can do much better and this is an area of concern. Ajay Jadeja on the other hand in an interview with Cricbuzz said that ?KL Rahul doesn?t look very confident. He will require more time to get in.? &nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



Venkatesh Prasad was the one who offered a few words of heavy criticism via Twitter. He said, ?Is there something in the pitch that is not visible? Simply can't fathom this approach, especially from KL Rahul.? These comments from such well-established players do seem to concern the Indian cricket fans and the fans of KL Rahul. &nbsp;



<h2>Who can replace KL Rahul on Indian Team:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Ishan-Kishan-min.jpg" alt="KL Rahul Replacement" class="wp-image-93736"/><figcaption>One of the top-rated batters by the ICC, Kishan is not even in the squad! IMG SRC: TOI</figcaption></figure>



The Indian Team has had many openers in the recent past. We have seen Deepak Hooda open the innings in Ireland. We have seen Sanju Samson do the same. Ishan Kishan happens to be one of the most highly rated batters by the ICC and is a top-class batter. Shikhar Dhawan is a player who missed the bus to the Asia Cup 2022 team but is another world-class opener. There is a line of openers behind KL Rahul and hence the pressure seems to be building on him. He needs a big performance to shut the critics. List of replacements for Rahul:&nbsp;



<ol><li>Deepak Hooda&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="2"><li>Ishan Kishan&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="3"><li>Sanju Samson&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="4"><li>Shikhar Dhawan&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="5"><li>Shubman Gill&nbsp;</li></ol>



<h2>Sunil Gavaskar Backs Rahul:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/KL-Rahul-min.jpg" alt="KL Rahul" class="wp-image-93739" width="800"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: NDTV Sports</figcaption></figure>



With all the other cricket pundits criticizing Rahul, it is Sunil Gavaskar who chose to speak for him. Gavaskar simply said, ?When other players like Avesh Khan are getting a long rope (basically a greater number of chances) why can?t the same be applicable for KL Rahul who is a proven match winner.? &nbsp;



<h2>Will KL Rahul be Dropped?&nbsp;</h2>



No, Rahul Dravid, the head coach of the Indian team believes in giving a player a decent number of chances. He also has a soft corner for KL Rahul. So, it is very less likely that KL Rahul will be dropped after just 2 decent performances. &nbsp;

KL Rahul Criticized Heavily for His Performance in Asia Cup 2022. Experts Doubt his Place in the Playing 11.?

India vs England 5th Test Match: The last match of the ongoing five-match Test series between India and England will be played on March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. There has been a change in the squad since the last Test match, information about which was given by BCCI this afternoon. Wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul is out of the squad due to injury. The Indian team's vice captain, Jasprit Bumrah, is going to return to the playing 11. This article will provide Team India Updated Squad for the Final Test Match against England



KL Rahul and injury have an old relationship; once again, Rahul has been out of the last test match due to injury. According to reports, he is also doubtful about playing in the IPL in 2024. Rahul has been ruled out of the Dharamsala test match due to a quadriceps injury. He has gone to London for better treatment, under the supervision of the BCCI medical team.



Indian Test team vice captain Jasprit Bumrah is ready to make a comeback in the fifth Test match. Bumrah had been bowling long-overs for the Indian team in three consecutive matches, due to which he was rested in the fourth Test match. He was the leading wicket taker of the first series in the Ranchi Test but was overtaken by English bowler Tom Hartley after the fourth Test match. Bumrah has taken a total of 17 wickets in three matches, while Hartley has taken 20 wickets.



Indian team bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar was selected in the squad for the five-match Test series, but he did not get a place in the playing 11. The Ranji Trophy semi-final match is to be played against Tamil Nadu and Mumbai on March 2nd, for which Sundar has been released from the squad. He will play for his home team, Tamil Nadu, in the semi-final match against Mumbai.

Team India Updated Squad for the Final Test Match against England | India vs England 5th Test Match

India pacer Akash Deep brought his best with the ball in the ongoing third Test against Australia. The fast bowler oozed his class at the Brisbane in Gabba, which is known as the happy hunting ground of the Pat Cummins-led side. 
In what was an enthralling day of Test cricket, India almost saved the Test match at the Gabba in Brisbane. They came up with a fighting effort with the bat and avoided the follow-on going into the last day, thanks to the effort of KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Akash Deep. 
The start of day four didn't go the way India wanted, as they resumed at 51 for four. Skipper Rohit Sharma was the first wicket to fall as Pat Cummins had his number for the 6th time in Test cricket. But it came as a blessing in disguise for India. 
This is because, after that, KL Rahul (84) and Ravindra Jadeja (77) came up with a valiant effort that brought India back in the game. The Rahul-Jadeja duo stitched 67 runs for the sixth wicket before Nitish Kumar Reddy supported Jadeja as the duo added 53 runs for the seventh wicket, and it seemed India would avoid the follow-on. 
Australia made a strong comeback, and it seemed they would warp up the Indian innings before the follow-on score of 245. But Akash Deep (27*) and Jasprit Bumrah (10*) came up with a magical effort with the bat as they batted incredibly well and avoided the follow-on. They added unbeaten 39 runs before bad light forced umpires to take stumps on Day 4 
Akash Deep, in particular, looked solid with the bat. He showed great courage and fought hard as he slowly ticked in the scorecard and ensured India avoided the follow-on. As he went past 245 runs, he applied salt on the wounds of Australian bowlers with a massive six to Pat Cummins. 
<h2>Akash Deep shines with bat, slams Pat Cummins for a massive six, makes KL Rahul awestruck</h2>
Akash Deep went for a slog to full delivery by Pat Cummins. He timed the ball to perfection as the ball went on to land into the stands. This made the entire Indian dressing stand and applaud him, but the epic reaction came from KL Rahul, who was sitting in the dugout. 
The batter was seen saying B******d in acknowledgement as the ball went into the stands. Akash Deep ended the Day with a score of 27 runs off 31 balls. He and Bumrahadded 39 runs partnership.

Tonight’s high-voltage MI vs CSK clash at Wankhede (7:30 PM) reignites the Dhoni-Hardik rivalry. CSK (2 wins/7 matches) started strong but slumped before Dhoni’s captaincy return brought a recent win, while MI (3 wins/7 matches) sit slightly higher. Wankhede’s stats favor chasing teams (64 wins vs 55 batting first), with dew often decisive. Though known for big scores (record: RCB’s 235 in 2015), today’s pitch may assist spinners, making 190 a par score. Toss could be crucial—bowling first may prove advantageous.
