Virat Cup: Ground report from Nottingham

Ahead of their third World Cup 2019 fixture against New Zealand, India were jolted after opener Shikhar Dhawan sustained an injury on left thumb while batting against Australia. He went under the scans that detected a hair-line fracture and hence, he got ruled out of for at least next 3 games.

 

Since Dhawan will no more in the line-up against the Kiwis, the team management faces another challenge of filling the empty spot. Vijay Shankar and Dinesh Karthik are already in the squad while Rishabh Pant is about to join the team as a cover.
