The Indian Cricket Team were in for another injury issue as Bhuvneshwar Kumar walked out mid-way in the fifth over of the Indian innings, and his third over. Bowling to Imam-ul-Haq, Bhuvi was seen stretching his hamstring before bowling the fourth ball of the fifth over. 

India, who have been the in-form team, were already left weak after opener Shikhar Dhawan was ruled out due to a thumb fracture. The injury to Bhuvi will further weaken the team, and the fact that he will not take the field again during the clash will hamper Kohli's plans. However, Vijay Shankar took a wicket off the first ball, and with India having players like Kedar Jadhav, Shankar, Pandya along with Kuldeep and Chahal, his services might not be missed much. 

India have a week's break before their next game against Afghanistan on June 22 and they will hope that he can recover on time.
