It can be worrying sign for ODi series as Sran is injured, Shami may need some rest and now bhuvi is injured. Ashwin also had some injury.

We might have a week bowling attack in Odi series.

Red meat and whey protein. Poor guy tried to reverse swing for 3 overs and hurt his back

Plenty of pace options for ODIs. There'll be Bumrah, Dhaval, Aaron, Hardik and a couple of rookies can be considered too. Ishant might also get a game or two as a warm up for the next test series.

Ishant Aaron Dhawal and hardik on Indian pitches now m more scared.

[Tibarn]

Series is won, so maybe give Thakur a game.

WTF??????

Get well soon bhuvi. Hope its not long. 

He was in such a good form that injury will mess it up.

Poor guy. Dhoni broke his back in that 2014 series. He hasn't been the same.

and trolling aside, Ishant, Lokesh Rahul, Dhawan, Bhuvi.... the injuries/misfortunes are all piling up.

 

Openers and pacers. India will be very wise to keep Shami well rested. No point in him playing the LOI with a busy test schedule.

 

I do hope India try Shardul. I think we know what Umesh can bring to the table. I expect spinners to do most of the heavy lifting. Worth a shot in resting Shami and playing Shardul and Umesh. Shardul has the potential to go allout in bursts of 4 overs or so. 

 

I think this injury to Bhuvi highlights India need a big depth of pace bowlers. Need a depth of 6-7 in tests and 6-7 in LOI.  Its ok at home when the spinners are in charge.

yeah cause meat eating bowlers like Shami have never got injured for long lengths or periods before.

[Mosher]

So many injuries and this is just the start of a long home season . Hope Bhuvi gets back soon. He needs to work on his fitness and put on some muscle if he wants to play tests. With a fitness freak like Kohli leading the team don't think any player will take fitness lightly.

Nature of injuries are different.

[rkt.india]

But I have always suspected with that kind of action he has, he is bound to get back issues when putting extra effort.

[Texan]

Umesh will probably get his spot back. We should try playing 5 bowlers with Pujara opening. Bring Mishra in as well.
