At the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Australia defeated India by 21 runs in the third one-day international to claim a 2-1 victory in the series. As a result of this victory, they have become the top-ranked ODI team. Smith has had a quiet tour with the bat, but he has been a great leader for the Aussie team during the tour.<\/p>\n
The loss appears to be a setback with the ICC World Cup rapidly approaching, but the injury concern for key players is likely even more concerning. India is without the services of several important players, including Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Shreyas Iyer, who are absent due to injuries.<\/p>\n
Pant is recuperating from terrible injuries sustained in a car accident, but Shreyas and Bumrah are absent due to back problems.<\/p>\n
In a race against time to get fit before the World Cup, which will start in October, Mumbai-born batsman Shreyas is scheduled to undergo surgery, with a recovery period of roughly five months. Before the ICC Showpiece begins in India, Bumrah will work to regain his previous level of fitness. After the team\u2019s defeat in Chepauk, Indian captain Rohit Sharma addressed the issue of ongoing injuries.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt is a matter of concern if a player is unavailable due to an injury\u201d, Rohit began.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are missing the players who make the playing XI regularly, but honestly, everyone is trying their best to get everyone on the right path\u201d, the captain asserted.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have been focusing a lot on the management of the players a lot. Which is why you keep seeing that we need to rest certain players at a certain point in time.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFrom our side, we could do our best in terms of handling them, I\u2019m not a specialist to tell you why the recurring injuries are happening. But, of course, the medical team is looking at all of it and making sure that, come to the world cup, our best 15 men units ready,\u201d the 35-year-old asserted.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, when you play so much cricket, injuries are bound to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNot looking too much into it and with what\u2019s available to us, we just try to control what is in our own hands\u201d, Rohit elaborated.<\/p>\n \u201cPlayers are frustrated as well, they want to play and do not want to miss out. It is a little sad, but at the end of the day, you can\u2019t do too much. I can vouch for the people working behind the scene are working really hard with all the players\u201d, the captain said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Australia defeated India by 21 runs in the third one-day international to claim\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":28819,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[324,658,1563],"class_list":["post-5885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-rishabh-pant","tag-shreyas-iyer","tag-surya-kumar-yadav"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5885"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5885\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
