Injured Dhawan ruled out of remaining two Tests vs Sri Lanka
Dhawan, who scored a century in the first innings, batted with a swollen knuckle after he dropped a catch standing at the first slip.
India suffered a huge blow after their in-form opener Shikhar Dhawan was on Monday ruled out of the remainder of the cricket Test series against Sri Lanka due to a hairline fracture in his hand.
India, who lost the first Test by 63 runs against the islanders, will be playing the second Test at P Sara Oval from Thursday.
“The BCCI medical team has confirmed that opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has been ruled out of the remaining part of India’s tour of Sri Lanka - 2015. Dhawan had injured his right hand during the first Test at Galle. He underwent further tests that confirmed a hairline fracture in his hand. He would require four to six weeks to recover from the injury,” a BCCI media release said.
