Shikhar Dhawan, who sustained a thumb injury by a rising delivery from pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile would be missing matches against New Zealand and Pakistan. Dhawan had helped in India's win over Australia in the World Cup on Sunday. He first picked up the injury in 2016 when he was hit by a bouncer on the same spot by New Zealand's Trent Boult. Standbys Rishabh Pant and Ambati Rayudu are in contention to replace Dhawan in case he would be completely ruled out of the event. India will next take on New Zealand on June 13 at Trent Bridge.
