Bengaluru: Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has gone for an X-ray after hurting his shoulder in the ongoing third ODI against Australia here at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
In his place KL Rahul has opened the batting with Rohit Sharma. There is no update from BCCI on Dhawan's injury.
This puts his participation in the match under doubt, and the management will take a call once the player returns after his X-ray.
"Update: Shikhar Dhawan has gone for an X-Ray. A call on him being available for the game will be taken once he is back & assessed #TeamIndia #INDvAUS," BCCI tweeted.

The opener had dived during the fifth over of Australian innings. In trying to field the ball at covers, Dhawan ended up hurting his left shoulder.
Dhawan had also not taken the field for the Australian innings in the second ODI after getting struck on the rib-cage in the second ODI.
In the match between India and Australia, the latter won the toss and opted to bat first here at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

In the second ODI, Dhawan could not take the field for the entire duration of the Australian innings after a Pat Cummins rising delivery hit him on the rib cage while batting.
The series is levelled at 1-1.
