The India National Cricket Team is currently engaged in a warm-up match with the Sri Lanka Cricket XI in Colombo. Alongside the upcoming two-match Test series in Sri Lanka, the Indian cricket team is dealing with another issue: growing concerns over the players' fitness because of repeated injuries in recent times.
Shubman Gill is the latest one on the list of injured players, who missed the first day of the warm-up match because of a finger injury that he received during a practice session. Though his injury seems to be not serious, but the concerns over the cricketers' fitness have been growing for real reasons.
Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Varun Chakravarthy, Prince Yadav, Sai Sudharsan and multiple other players whose fitness statuses are under the scanner. Sai Sudharsan, who is named to play the series against Sri Lanka, is out of the series.
Amid reports suggesting the Board of Control for Cricket in India's possible move to remodel the fitness programme, The Daily Jagran, in the latest report, has provided the latest fitness status of some of the top-category players of the Indian cricket team.
Latest fitness status of Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Sai Sudharshan, and Harshit Rana:
Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of India’s tour of Sri Lanka only a few days before the team departed for the Tests. The fast bowler was ruled out of the entire series because of a knee issue in his left leg. According to the latest reports, Jasprit Bumrah’s return date is not yet fixed. Currently, Jasprit Bumrah's focus is on rebuilding strength and fitness before increasing the workload.
Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya suffered back-to-back injuries within a short time span. The previous report suggested that the pace bowling all-rounder had started working on his bowling, which is currently on hold. According to the latest reports, Pandya recently complained of pain in his right calf. Although there are no major updates about a fresh injury, his date to make a comeback remains unclear. He is currently at the Center of Excellence in Bengaluru.
Positive updates on Nitish Kumar Reddy, another pace bowling all-rounder. He has reportedly been recovering well from the quadriceps injury and has been bowling and taking part in cricket-related activities. In the upcoming days, the volume of his bowling workload is likely to be increased.
Sai Sudharsan
Another MRI scan is possible as the batter continues to experience occasional pain in his right leg. He is out of action because of a stress reaction in his leg. Although he has resumed batting and fielding, the occasional pain keeps him out of the series against Sri Lanka.
Harshit Rana
The fast bowler is reportedly recovering well from the right hamstring injury. He has been working on reducing the excessive weight, with a focus on increasing strength, agility and overall fitness before returning to top-end cricket.
