#3 Knee Injury, 2017

The Deodhar Trophy is a prestigious tournament in the history of Indian domestic cricket. Rohit Sharma was named in the India Blue squad to play in the event. However, he was forced to sit out and was replaced in the team after he suffered a knee injury.
Sharma was initially named as the captain of the India Blue team, but following his injury, Harbhajan Singh was handed over the role of leadership. Maharashtra batsman, Ruturaj Gaekwad was roped in as a replacement for Sharma.
Rohit Sharma was already in the process of recovering from a thigh injury, which he suffered in 2016 and the knee-niggle didn’t help his cause to make a comeback into competitive cricket.
