Abhimanyu Mithun will replace the 23-year old for the last two ODIs in Mumbai (October 23) and Kolkata (October 25), the BCCI said in a statement.

Yadav injured the webbing on his left hand on Thursday while stopping a Jonathan Trott shot from going to the boundary, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni told reporters after the match.

India, the world champions in 50-over cricket, have already taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
