Team india suffered a major setback as opener Shikhar Dhawan is going to miss the action for three weeks due to a thumb fracture. Dhawan was the hero of india's win over australia on Sunday with a knock of 117 off 109 balls. He sustained the Thumb Fracture after being hit on his left thumb by a rising delivery from pacer Nathan Coulter-nile.


Dhawan did not take the field during australia Batting and was substituted by ravindra jadeja. He underwent scans here in which the fracture came to light.  KL rahul may have to open the batting along with rohit Sharma in Shikhar Dhawan's absence. That will bring Dinesh karthik to the middle order.


Designated standbys Rishabh Pant and ambati rayudu are in contention to replace Dhawan in case he is completely ruled out of the event. The team management may also bring in mumbai batsman and india A captain Shreyas Iyer as he is a specialist No.4 batsman. Iyer is currently in england and will join the team if he gets the call.
