Adding to that he also said, “ Obviously a hamstring tear. I don't know how bad it is. I'm sure we'll scan him probably tomorrow or the next day. It looks pretty bad, unfortunately. And he's going to be a big, big loss because he's been a really nice touch for us."
As per reports, the young Indian talent can miss out on the next three or four games. In his place, Urvil Patel who had a good outing can come as a proper batter.
