After Yuvraj Singh's retirement news, cricket fans were shocked to hear India opener Shikhar Dhawan, who will undergo precautionary scans today to check on the extent of the injury on his swollen left thumb.

 

Shikhar Dhawan to undergo scans on his swollen thumb

As of now, Dhawan has a taping on his thumb. He endured a blow to his thumb during India's win against Australia

According to India Today reports, Dhawan played through pain after being hit on the thumb by a rising delivery from pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile. He looked in considerable pain but carried on to score 117 off 109 balls. However, Dhawan didn't take the field due to the injury and Ravindra Jadeja fielded in his place for the entire 50 overs.

It has been learnt that Dhawan will undergo precautionary tests following which physio Patrick Farhart will take a call on his participation in the next game against New Zealand at Trent Bridge on Thursday, reports India Today.

Not just the Indian team but World Cup fans are hoping that it is not a fracture and just a bit of swelling that should heal in the next couple of days.
