India’s left-handed batter B Sai Sudharsan will not take the field on day three of the ongoing second and final Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium after sustaining an impact injury while taking a catch during day two’s play.

Sudharsan sustained an injury to his hand while taking a sharp catch of West Indies’ opener John Campbell off Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling on the second ball of the eighth over of the visitors’ innings.

Campbell’s slog-sweep hit the helmet of Sudharsan, fielding at forward short leg, and despite that, he ensured the ball didn’t pop out of his hands. But Sudharsan had to go off the field to get his hand treated and didn’t field for the rest of day two’s play, with substitute fielder Devdutt Padikkal taking the fielding duties at forward short leg.
