MS Dhoni misses practice session on Monday - Cricket News Update
The flamboyant India captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
It has been reported that the home skipper was not feeling well and had informed the Indian cricket team physio, Evan Speechly of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772.
"He told the physiotherapist that he is unwell and that's the reason he did not come for the practice," said the veteran batsman while talking to the media reporters at the pre-match press conference at the Wankhede Stadium.
When asked whether the wicketkeeper batsman would be available for the inconsequential Wankhede Test tomorrow, Laxman’s prompt response was, "Please ask the physio."
India had faced a spate of injuries this summer when eight of its first choice players returned home from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 after picking up injuries at various stages during their winless tour.
Dhoni however, remained perfectly fit and has not sustained an injury over the past one year despite a hectic schedule, which saw him leading the Men in Blue against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754, South Africa, England and West Indies (home and away), besides the
World Cup and Indian Premier League, earlier this year.
Having won the first two Tests of the series, India have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series and might test their bench strength in the dead rubber contest.
The relatively inexperienced West Indies side showed a lot of valour in the series opener at Feroz Shah Kotla in New http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 won the match by five wickets.
The second Test, at the flat Eden Gardens pitch, was a one-sided affair as India went on to score a mammoth 631 for 7 in their first innings before enforcing a follow-on on the tourists by bundling them out for just 153 in their first outing. The visiting
batsmen played quite cautiously in their second innings and went on to score 463 runs as India won the match by an innings and 15 runs.
The Test series will be followed by a five-match One Day International series and a one-off T20 International.
