Injured Hanuma Vihari out of last Test, unlikely for England series; Shardul likely in place of Jadeja

India’s injury woes in the Test series against Australia got worse on Monday after the hero of their drawn game in Sydney, Hanuma Vihari, is likely ruled out of the fourth and final match with a hamstring tear that could keep him out of action for a considerable time.

It has been learnt that Vihari was taken for scans after the match got over and the reports are expected by late evening in Sydney or Tuesday morning.

However, a BCCI source confirmed to PTI that Vihari is unlikely to be fit in time for the next Test match starting in another three days’ time. The batsmen scored 23 off 161 balls in an exhausting performance to save the match with Ashwin Ravichandran.
