Later, team-mate David Warner assured that his captain is perfectly fit and there is nothing to worry about.
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with him, he is fine," the opener was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia.
"You've seen his reactions out in the middle every time something happens. He's a very fidgety character. He was just confused how it got there. I think we all were. I think it hit the top of the rail and flicked up," Warner added.
