Vadodara: With just two days to go for the start of a seven-match series against world champions Australia, India got an injury scare, with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni hurting his knee while batting during practice.

Dhoni said he is hoping that the injury is not serious. He got hit on the back of his left knee by a Munaf Patel delivery while batting in the nets and had to leave the practice session mid-way to take rest.

“I got hit when batting against Munaf. I should be alright tomorrow, but have to wait and see how it feels in the morning,” Dhoni, wearing a protective gear on the affected portion, said.

Dhoni, besides being the captain and a very important member of the Indian batting line-up, is the only wicket-keeper in the Indian squad announced for the first two games of the series starting on Sunday at the Reliance Stadium in Vadodara.
