BREAKING: Dhawan ruled out of ICC World Cup - Rishabh Pant likely to replace?
Initially, scans were taken to know the extent of the injury in his thumb. Now, due to this injury Dhawan will miss all his upcoming matches against new zealand, pakistan, afghanistan, West Indies, and england. He may or may not return even by July for the playoffs.
Rishabh Pant and Rayudu are in contention to replace Dhawan. Shreyas Iyer is also being assessed by Indian management. Dhawan got the thumb fractured due to a rising delivery by Nathan Coulter-nile. He never even came to field for the 50 overs while india bowled.
