Team India has a player who is known for his extraordinary fielding efforts he is known other than Ravindra Jadeja. 

Like every part of things has an odd and even side, therefore Team India has an odd side of their cricket team. Team India has a single team for all the formats so sometimes it becomes difficult for the selection committee to select a balancing team and there are always a middle-order concern in Team India. Middle order has seen collapsing when it comes their chance to save matches. 

In cricket, fitness matters more and not only cricket but in every sports, however a cricket player’s fitness needed more when it comes to their individual performance. 

Players are easy to trap in injury while playing, and they could be out of the squad/Playing 11 due to injury which can imbalance the team and then it could be difficult to choose a replacement for the injured player.
