Dhawan out of Sri Lanka series
Shikhar Dhawan has been ruled out of the remainder of India's tour of Sri Lanka after sustaining a hairline fracture in his hand. The 29-year old Indian opener injured his right hand while during the first Test at Galle.
Team India Director David Shastri told a press conference. He played with a crack and scored a hundred. He showed a lot of courage and that's what I look for in a player.
An injury to the in-form Dhawan compounds India's batting woes, especially in the light of their now frequent batting capitulations and the team management's insistence on playing with just the six batsmen. However, Dhawan's injury gives 23-year old KL Rahul another opportunity to underscore his credentials following two forgettable outings in Galle.
Meanwhile, Murali Vijay, who sat out of the first Test due to a hamstring injury, is said to be responding well to the treatment but the team management will take a final call on his inclusion for the second Test on the eve of the match.
