MS Dhoni has been ruled out of the Asia Cup in Bangladesh because of a
side strain. Virat Kohli will lead India in Dhoni's absence and Dinesh Karthik slots in as the replacement wicketkeeper.
Dhoni suffered a grade-one strain to his left side during the second Test against New Zealand in Wellington and will undergo rehabilitation for ten days.
The Indian squad landed in Mumbai today after failing to
win a single game in New Zealand.
Kohli has led India in eight ODIs previously, when Dhoni was injured
during a tri-series in the West Indies involving Sri Lanka and then
rested from a tour of Zimbabwe in July and August 2013. India won seven
of those matches. Karthik has not played for India since the tour of
Zimbabwe last year either.
