#4 Hamstring injury, 2015

Rohit Sharma started off 2015 in grand style with a spectacular century against Australia. However, during the course of his marathon-like innings, he suffered a hamstring niggle. The 2015 Cricket World Cup was around the corner and the injury triggered at the wrong time.
The right-handed opening batsman missed India’s remaining three games in the series. India missed his services as they crashed to low scores on every occasion after Sharma’s injury. The Men in Blue couldn’t qualify for the Final and eventually returned winless from the tri-series.
Nevertheless, to India’s delight, Rohit Sharma returned to play the World Cup and turned out to be India’s second highest run-getter with 330 runs at an average of 47.14. His maiden ton in the tournament came in India’s quarter-final clash against Bangladesh.
