All-rounder Moises Henriques became the fifth Australian player facing fitness problem during the ongoing One-day series against India. Henriques was ruled out of the fifth ODI after he hurted his right hamstring during the day-night encounter against India at Mohali. Moises himself was a replacement player who joined the group when all-rounder James Hopes was ruled out with a hamstring problem. (Getty Images)

Fast bowler Peter Siddle has become the latest Australian to return home from the Indian tour because of a side strain. Siddle experienced soreness during the fourth One-day international at Mohali, where he bowled only five overs. The Victorian is the fourth player after paceman Brett Lee, all-rounder James Hopes and wicket-keeper Tim Paine to fly back home from the middle of the series. (Getty Images)

Pace spearhead Brett Lee was the first causality during the One-day series in India. The Australian pacer bowled only six overs during the first ODI in Vadodara and was not available for selection in subsequent matches in Nagpur and Delhi. Eventually, he was ruled out for the remainder of the series with an elbow injury. Skipper Ricky Ponting admitted that Lee's absence at the death overs will make a big difference against India. Injuries did cost a little more than expected as India won the Nagpur ODI by 99 runs. (Getty Images)

Australians were grappled with further injury scares when James Hopes was forced out of the One-day series in India with a hamstring injury. The Australian all-rounder played in the first ODI at Vadodara before conceding a right hamstring injury. "Having James in the side always helps as he has made an impact, both with bat and ball, in most of the matches he has played in the past two years," lamented skipper Ricky Ponting. (Getty Images)

As if Brad Haddin's unavailability was not enough, wicket-keeper Tim Paine was also ruled out on the One-day series after suffering a broken finger during the second One-dayer. Paine fractured the ring finger of his right hand during the 99-run defeat in Nagpur. Graham Manou was named as Paine's replacement. (Sajjad Hussain/AFP/Getty Images)

Australian skipper Ricky Ponting's shot from the bat left Indian left-handed opener Gautam Gambhir out of the fourth One-dayer in Mohali which India lost by 24 runs. Gautam took a Ponting pull on his neck taking an evasive action necessitating medical attention. (Getty Images)

After a long injury layoff, Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh made a much anticipated comeback during the seven-match series against Australia. The presence of fiery Sehwag at the top of the order and Yuvraj in the middle makes India's batting look more menacing. (Prakash Singh/AFP/Getty Images)

Crisis ridden Australia made their tour to India without some of their key players recovering from injuries. First-team players like vice-captain Michael Clarke, wicket-keeper Brad Haddin, strike bowler Nathan Bracken and all-rounder Callum Ferguson were all nursing their injuries. (Getty Images)
