MUMBAI: A hamstring pull while bowling in the third T20I against the West Indies at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata will keep pacer Deepak Chahar out of the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, TOI has learnt. The series begins with the first game on Thursday in Lucknow.
While the BCCI hasn't come out with an official release on Chahar's injury, or his replacement, it's understood that the 29-year-old did not travel with the Indian team to Lucknow from Kolkata and has gone to the National Cricket Academy instead for injury diagnosis and rehabilitation.
