India's Injury Woes Impact England ODI Series
India's cricket team has been facing a lot of injuries, which has made it hard for them to play their best games against England.
Their captain, Shubman Gill, is worried because many important players like Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and others got hurt.
This meant India had to play with different players in each game, which made it tough to win.
