IPL 2017: 5 Indian players who are on the injured list

#3 Ravindra Jadeja

A much-needed rest for the warrior

The World number 1 test bowler too will miss the initial weeks of the IPL as he has been asked to rest for a period of two weeks to recuperate from issues in his spinning finger. He can only take part for the Gujarat Lions from mid-April.

After having been at the centre of India’s tremendous home season march, Jadeja needs to recover before the all-important Champions Trophy as his form with both bat and ball will be crucial to the defending champions plan in England.

"Ravindra Jadeja has been advised rest for 2 weeks to recuperate. Jadeja has issues with the spinning finger and he will recover during the initial phase when his team will play the first and second match of IPL 2017," the BCCI said.
