Virender Sehwag has pointed out a major problem with the current Indian cricket team which he believes has led to players getting injured frequently.

During a chat with Cricbuzz, the former India skipper said that India's problems are the injuries that didn't happen on the cricket field. 'Hardik Pandya got injured while bowling. Most of the players are getting injured at the gym or outside the match. We didn't see Jadeja getting injured on a cricket field.' Sehwag feels that things that are happening outside or in the gym need to be addressed.

The 43-year-old added that gym is not as important as skills and If you have a two-month break, then fitness becomes important. 'I never saw Sachin Tendulkar lift more than 6-8kg weights. But these days you see players including Virat Kohli posting videos of lifting 50-60-70kgs during a series, which actually increases the chances of an injury,' Sehwag further said.
