Shikhar Dhawan injury big blow to India: Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh spoke to India Today after Shikhar Dhawan was ruled out of World Cup 2019 for 3 weeks with a fractured thumb. Harbhajan told that Shikhar Dhawan's injury is a big blow to India in World Cup 2019.

"Well, it could be 3 weeks depending on how bad the injury is. They are actually assuming. In the end, it will come down to how Shikhar Dhawan will feel batting with the injured finger. Even if the injury heals, it will depend on him to get fully fit." added Harbhajan.

Harbhajan added: "It's going to be a challenge. This is a big blow. I would have loved to see Shikhar playing all the games. He is a big-match player. It's a good opportunity for Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant to be part of the squad. If anything goes wrong with Shikhar Dhawan for more than 3 weeks, then I would want to pick Pant.
