Indian skipper MS Dhoni injured himself while batting during a nets session in Vadodara. The injury though does not look good enough to keep him out of the first match of the seven-ODI series against Australia on Sunday.

 

Dhoni was hit on the back of his left knee off a Munaf Patel delivery, after which he limped off the practice area on Friday. An ice pack was promptly put on the affected area, but he didn't appear to be in too much pain.

 

"I should be alright tomorrow," Dhoni said. "But have to wait and see how it feels in the morning." There is no reserve wicketkeeper in the squad of 15 named for the series and Dinesh Karthik, who was the back-up during the Champions Trophy in South Africa, had not received any call from the BCCI until late on Friday night.
