India's in-form fast bowler Deepak Chahar has been ruled out of the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka due to a hamstring injury.
Deepak, who is also handy with the bat lower down the order, limped off the field during the third and final T20 match against West Indies in Kolkata.
While confirming Chahar's, unavailability for the Sri Lanka T20s, a BCCI official told news agency PTI that the pacer will complete his rehab at NCA.

The official further added that Team India has not sought any replacement as vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah is already with the side.
India and Sri Lanka will lock horns in a three-match T20 series, starting Thursday in Lucknow. The remaining two matches of the series will be played on Saturday and Sunday in Dharamshala.
