The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has apparently provided an explanation regarding the absence of Sai Sudharsan on Day 3 of the on-going IND vs WI Test match in New Delhi.

According to a report by The Times Of India, the BCCI's medical team has stated that while the player's injury is not serious, he is being monitored for the time being.

Sai Sudharsan appeared to have hurt the back of his right hand while fielding on Day 2, when he took quite an unusual catch of West Indian batsman, John Campbell.

Sai Sudharsan Injury: What Happened

During the eighth over of West Indies' first batting innings, opening batsman John Campbell swept hard on Ravindra Jadeja's delivery.

The ball then went on to hit Sai Sudharsan, fielding at short-leg, at the back of his hand, but somehow nestled in his arms, resulting in an unbelievable dismissal that left everyone surprised.

While most Indian fielders celebrated, Sudharsan appeared to be in pain, and was taken off the field moments later, and then seen tending to the injured area in the dugout. 

On Day 3, he hasn't come out to field, as West Indies continue trailing India's 518 runs.
