Aaron, suffered a muscle strain in his right leg during the five-match ODI series opener against Sri Lanka in Cuttack on Sunday.
Aaron had to leave the field grimacing in pain after bowling the first ball of the 13th over and Virat Kohli had to complete the over.
Aaron, who incidentally clocked 152kph in the first over, chatted with Kohli as the physio was called before the pacer was taken off after bowling 4.1 overs, conceding 26 runs. India, who had piled on 363/5 earlier, defeated Sri Lanka by 169 runs after Ishant Sharma pocketed 4/34.
