Injuries play the role of an evil antagonist for any sports person, as they tend to distort the career of a promising individual massively.

Over the years went by, team India has had several legendary players, who were extremely injury prone. The eventual result of being injured is that apart from the player missing out on the game, the team suffers as the services of that individual are dearly missed. In this modern age of the game, where working out in the gym and constantly monitoring the diet has become an integral aspect and players tend to get injured on a far less frequent basis than what the stars of the previous era did.

It leads us to an interesting scenario as for how better could it have been if a few Indian players were a little less injury prone. It is no secret that India as a side has missed out on several tournaments just because of the absence of a few players.

Who can forget the tennis elbow woe to Sachin Tendulkar, and how the Indian batting lineup faltered in the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy without him?

Keeping that in mind, below, we have a look at five such Indian cricketers, who could have contributed more if they were not injury prone.
