The paceman had bowled four overs during the Australian first innings when he suffered the injury.

R P was treated for the hamstring injury after the day's play and the the team management will again assess his condition tomorrow.

The Indians have opted to go into the crucial Test with a five-pronged bowling attack but their move could lose much of its sting if the paceman is not fit enough to bowl on the third day tomorrow.

Replying to India's mammoth first innings total of 526, Australia were 62 for no loss at close of play on the second day.
