Shikhar Dhawan, who sustained a thumb injury by a rising delivery from pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile could likely be ruled out for three weeks.
It is learned that the batsman is being assessed by the Indian team’s physio Patrick Farhart. An update will be provided later on Monday.
Dhawan had helped in India's win over Australia in the World Cup on Sunday. Keeping pain aside, the batsman went on to score 117 off 109 balls. However, he didn't take the field due to pain and Ravindra Jadeja fielded in his place for the entire 50 overs.
According to reports, Dhawan is undergoing precautionary tests following which physio Patrick Farhart will take a call on his participation.
The team would be hoping that it is not a fracture and just a bit of swelling. The left thumb has been a long-standing issue for Dhawan. He first picked up the injury in 2016 when he was hit by a bouncer on the same spot by New Zealand's Trent Boult.
