Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined the list of personalities to offer his condolences and sympathy to injured India opener Shikhar Dhawan. The veteran is ruled out of the ongoing Cricket World Cup due to a fractured thumb.
Modi took to Twitter, where he wrote, "Dear @SDhawan25, no doubt the pitch will miss you but I hope you recover at the earliest so that you can once again be back on the field and contribute to more wins for the nation."
Dhawan was hit on his thumb by a delivery from Australian pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile, earlier in the tournament during India Vs Australia. After the incident, Dhawan looked to be in pain but continued to bat, scoring 117 runs off 109 runs. However, he didn't take the field during Australia's innings. Dhawan was expected to be back before the Bangladesh fixture on July 2, but won't be available anymore.
