Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has reportedly been ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing Tri-Nation series between India, West Indies and Sri Lanka with a right hamstring strain.
According to Sport24, Dhoni, whose injury was sustained while batting against the West Indies in his team's first match of the tournament on Sunday at Sabina Park, will be replaced by the uncapped Ambati Rayudu.
Meanwhile, the report also said that vice-captain Virat Kohli, who led the team on the field in Dhoni's absence against the West Indies, would take over as captain for the remainder of the series.
According to the report, India will face Sri Lanka on Tuesday in Kingston with both teams looking for their first points after each lost to the hosts in their respective opening fixtures.
Following that encounter, the tournament shifts to the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad, for the remaining three preliminary matches at the final, starting with India against the West Indies on Friday, the report added.
