#2 Finger injury, 2014

In 2014, India toured England for a Test, One Day International and T20 International series. India suffered a humiliating defeat in the Test series and looked to make amends in the limited overs fixtures against the hosts.
Rohit Sharma was supposed to be a key component in their lineup. However, after playing a solitary game in the series, Sharma sustained a fracture on the middle finger in his right hand. Consequently, he was ruled out of the remaining games.
Murali Vijay was called upon as the replacement for the Mumbai batsman. The injury took two months to heal and after missing the first three ODIs during Sri Lanka’s tour of India, Sharma made a comeback in the fourth ODI where he recorded the highest ever individual score of 264 runs in 173 balls in ODIs.
