The 15th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 has seen many ups and downs in the ongoing season. From the top two teams delivering sub-par performances to star players not being able to play to their full potential, a few franchises are concerned about the fitness of their key players in the squad.

Injuries frequently have a significant effect on a team&#8217;s tournament fate. The 15th edition of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) 2022 is halfway through the season, and a few franchises are concerned about their key players&#8217; condition.

While injuries are unavoidable in sports, teams strive to provide the finest medical care to their players to keep them available for most of the competition. However, due to fitness/injury concerns, some superstar players in the IPL are yet to be given the green light for the competition.

Here are 5 key Indian Players who are injured in IPL 2022:

Chahar, who was the second most expensive purchase in the IPL 2022 auction, had suffered the most significant injury coming into the 2022 season. It was previously thought that the pacer would be missing the entire season 15. But Deepak&#8217;s choice not to have surgery for his right quadriceps injury had given him hope of returning in April. However, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/not-fair-netizens-not-happy-after-devon-conway-is-unable-to-make-use-of-drs-due-to-power-failure/">Chennai Super Kings (CSK)</a> star pacer was officially ruled out of the ongoing season of IPL 2022 due to a back injury.

In February, the bowling all-rounder, Deepak Chahar injured his quadriceps in the third T20I against the West Indies. Chahar was subsequently ruled out of the first half of the season after being bought back for a massive INR 14 crore at the IPL Mega Auction that same month.

However, Chahar, who was undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, sustained a new injury, ruling him out for the remainder of the season. In his absence, CSK struggled to win games, initially losing four in a row for the first time in the IPL.

Mumbai Indians&#8217; star middle-order batsman, has been officially ruled out of the rest of IPL 2022, owing to an injury to a muscle in his left forearm. SKY sustained the injury during the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/dominating-performance-mumbai-indians-end-csks-playoff-hopes-in-ipl-2022-with-a-comfortable-win/">Mumbai Indians</a> game against Gujarat Titans on May 6, when he hit an 11-ball 13 to help his team win by five runs. Suryakumar&#8217;s exclusion from the squad was decided after discussions with the BCCI&#8217;s fitness team.

Suryakumar has been sidelined for the second time in recent months due to injuries. He spent three weeks rehabilitating at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru before the commencement of the IPL after suffering a hairline fracture on his thumb in the final match of the T20I series against West Indies on February 22. As a result, he was forced to miss the opening week of the tournament and only made Mumbai&#8217;s XI for their third match of the season, against Knight Riders on April 6.

The 31-year-old was only able to play 8 matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. He hit 303 runs for Mumbai Indians at an outstanding average of 43.29 in the eight games including three half-centuries. But he will no longer be available in the remaining matches of TATA IPL 2022.

One of the top retained players of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2022, Jadeja has been ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2022 because of a rib injury. The all-rounder sustained the injury on May 4, during an IPL match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. &#8220;Yes he is ruled out, he has a bruised rib. He is out of the IPL,&#8221; CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan confirmed.

Although he is staying with the team, Jadeja was forced to miss the tie against DC. The dynamic all-rounder missed a match for CSK for only the second time since joining the franchise in 2012. Jadeja has already had two injuries in the last seven months. He had a shoulder injury in November, which forced him to miss a significant amount of time.

After a bad run of results in the IPL 2022, Jadeja renounced his captaincy and passed it back to <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/lalchand-rajput-picks-his-all-time-combined-mi-csk-xi-ms-dhoni-to-lead/">MS Dhoni</a>. He understood the burden of captaincy after never having done so before this season. Not only did the defending champions CSK struggle, but Jadeja himself also found it tough to perform. Jadeja finished the season with 116 runs from ten innings, two ducks, and only five wickets, making it one of his worst seasons in the IPL for him.

Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder, sustained another injury to his already wounded bowling hand, in a match against CSK on May 1. SRH head coach Tom Moody confirmed that after the match. Before making his comeback against Gujarat Titans, the all-rounder had to sit out three games owing to split webbing in his bowling hand.

The event occurred in Marco Jansen&#8217;s fourth over when Sundar made a diving effort to rescue a boundary at a deep square leg. Sundar left the field immediately after the incident and didn&#8217;t bowl a single delivery in that game. He did come down to bat, but he barely stayed in the middle for two deliveries.

In the 15th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) Sunrisers Hyderabad&#8217;s star performer <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/washington-sundar-injured-his-right-hand-again-against-csk-srh-head-coach-tom-moody/">Washington Sundar</a> has only managed to play six matches. He has managed to pick four wickets for his home team with an average of 36 and an economy rate of eight. He also scored a stunning half-century against Rajasthan Royals. Washington Sundar&#8217;s injuries have been a source of frustration. Due to an injury, he missed the entire second leg of the IPL 2021 and the entire T20 World Cup. Sundar was also forced to withdraw from the T20I series against the West Indies earlier this year owing to a hamstring ailment.

Natarajan has spent more time on the bench than on the field since his fairy-tale tour of Australia. His knee ailment flared up during the first leg of the IPL 2021, cutting his tenure short. Then he tested positive for Covid-19 just as he was about to return to action for the UAE leg.

Natarajan was part of the Tamil Nadu team that successfully defended the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 title last year. But his body failed to cope with the match intensity after his knee problems and suffering from Covid-19. As a result, he could not compete in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, which was held in December.

After overcoming injury setbacks, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/srh-sunrisers-hyderabad/?page=1">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> pacer has recovered some confidence in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. With 17 wickets from nine matches, Natarajan is currently the season&#8217;s fifth-highest wicket-taker. Gavaskar praised the left-arm pacer for putting in the hard work. He said that Natarajan is ready to return to the Indian cricket team. Natarajan shone for SRH in their win over Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier in the season, prompting his comments. But Natrajan&#8217;s knee injury has resurfaced forcing him to miss SRH&#8217;s last two games.

Natarajan has spent more time on the bench than on the field since his fairy-tale tour of Australia. His knee ailment flared up during the first leg of the IPL 2021, cutting his tenure short. Then he tested positive for Covid-19 just as he was about to return to action for the UAE leg.
Natarajan was part of the Tamil Nadu team that successfully defended the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 title last year. But his body failed to cope with the match intensity after his knee problems and suffering from Covid-19. As a result, he could not compete in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, which was held in December.
After overcoming injury setbacks, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/srh-sunrisers-hyderabad/?page=1">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> pacer has recovered some confidence in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. With 17 wickets from nine matches, Natarajan is currently the season&#8217;s fifth-highest wicket-taker. Gavaskar praised the left-arm pacer for putting in the hard work. He said that Natarajan is ready to return to the Indian cricket team. Natarajan shone for SRH in their win over Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier in the season, prompting his comments. But Natrajan&#8217;s knee injury has resurfaced forcing him to miss SRH&#8217;s last two games.
