How constant niggles and breakdowns are hampering 2027 ODI World Cup plans

India's injury list is growing: Nitish Kumar Reddy injured himself during the ODI series against Afghanistan last month, Hardik Pandya has yet to feature in an ODI for India since the Champions Trophy final against New Zealand in March 2025. Harshit Rana has suffered two injury setbacks in the last six months. Washington Sundar has had a couple of breakdowns in the same period. Varun Chakravarthy suffered a hairline fracture before a Grade 2 hamstring injury ruled him out of action.
