In a big blow to India’s plans against Pakistan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar had to go off the field after bowling just 2.4 overs, and it has since been confirmed that he will play no further part in the game after reporting tightness in his left hamstring.
Bowling the fifth over of the Pakistan innings after India had ended on 336 for 5, Bhuvneshwar pulled up after bowling his 16th delivery, and left the field immediately. Vijay Shankar completed the over and, in fact, got India their first breakthrough with his very first delivery, trapping Imam-ul-Haq lbw.
Bhuvneshwar became the second Indian to pick up an injury during a match after opener Shikhar Dhawan hurt his left thumb during the game against Australia last Sunday. With India playing their next match on June 22, the team management will hope Bhuvneshwar’s injury is not too serious and he can return to action soon.
