The Indian Premier League has taken a sharp turn and it has reached the moving period of the season, as a few teams have changed the shape of their campaign, while a few teams have found it hard to find their strongest XI. This season has been one of the most injury-hit so far; from MS Dhoni to Pat Cummins, many stalwarts have been out of action after 31 matches. Few teams have capitalised on the advantage, and few have failed to gather momentum. As the list of injury-hit players has been growing without any stoppage, we have created an unavailable or injured players XI.
Here is our team
Rohit Sharma- The ex Indian captain has remained one of the successful players for the franchise, the five time IPL winning captain has been going through a hamstring injury for the last couple of days and that has led him to unavailability for three matches.
