IPL 2019: World-Cup bound Indian players feature in all IPL games amidst workload management talks

India TV News  

Virat Kohli stressed on the importance of ‘workload management’ for Indian players for the World Cup before the IPL. As far as others are concerned, Dhoni missed a couple of games due to a stiff back, Rohit was unfit for one game, Kuldeep Yadav played only nine games due to poor form, Ravindra Jadeja missed a game while Kedar Jadhav was pulled out of the tournament after hurting shoulder in the final league game. A batsman like Rahul used the IPL to hit top form ahead of World Cup but managing workload is always a bigger concern for the fast bowlers. Talking about how the international players looked after their bodies during the league, KXIP physio Brett Harrop and Delhi Capitals scouting head Pravin Amre said the cricketers managed their workload like thorough professionals.
