Sunil Gavaskar criticizes India’s fitness training amid injury concerns

Sunil Gavaskar has raised concerns about the fitness methodologies of the Indian cricket team following a series of injuries to key players, including Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Gavaskar argues that the current training methods, particularly limitations on bowlers during net sessions, contribute to recurring hamstring injuries. He emphasizes the importance of match fitness over gym-based conditioning and suggests a reassessment of training strategies. Captain Shubman Gill echoed these concerns after the team’s recent ODI series loss to England, citing the impact of injuries on team selection ahead of the upcoming World Cup.
