Australia opener Joe Burns, who overcame a run of poor form to score a half-century in the second innings of the first Test against India, has said that the visitors will be depleted by the absence of pace bowler Mohammed Shami and skipper Virat Kohli in the remaining matches of the series.
Shami was hit on his bowling arm by fast bowler Pat Cummins on Saturday, the third day of the first Test that saw India fold for 36. He is likely to be ruled out of the Test series. Kohli will return home to attend the birth of his first child.
