So, if the injury is serious again this time, the management is unlikely to throw him into the mix especially considering he has had injury troubles for the last two years. 

Bhuvneshwar had to miss the 2018 tour of England due to a back injury and hasn't played a Test match for India in last 22 months. 

The decline with his fitness has reflected in the man's on-field performances, leaving people in doubt over his future in Indian cricket. 

Having won the T20I series 2-1, the hosts will look to continue the good work during the ODIs, starting with the first game in Chennai on December 15.
