Brisbane: India opener Shikhar Dhawan retired hurt ahead of the resumption of play on day four of the second Test against Australia after being hit on the forearm during a practice session on Saturday morning.

Dhawan batted for 23 overs late on Friday and was not out on 26 overnight with the India second-innings total at 71-1. Australian TV broadcaster Channel 9 reported that Dhawan was hit on the arm by a ball during a net session at the Gabba ground in Brisbane. (Scorecard | Blog)

Virat Kohli went to the crease to bat in Dhawan's place but was bowled by Australian paceman Mitchell Johnson for one after facing 11 balls.

Dhawan's injury will be assessed to gauge whether he can return to the crease later in India's second innings.
