IPL: Indian pacers’ injury woes can hurt bigger plans too

It’s become a way of life for India’s fast bowling bench too nowadays; it was probably fine a couple of years back since Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav were readily deployed according to the surface with Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna and Mukesh Kumar gradually joining the ranks.
