An MRI scan has confirmed that Virat Kohli suffered no major ligament damage in the one-day international against Pakistan.
Kohli suffered the injury while bowling in the defeat on Sunday and India are awaiting news as to whether the 24-year-old will be available for the second match in Kolata on Thursday.
A statement from the Indian cricket board's secretary, Sanjay Jagdele, said: "All his major ligaments are fine. There is minimal injury fluid in his knee. He will recover after treatment.
"His condition will be monitored, and a decision on whether he will play the second AIRTEL ODI at Kolkata on 3 January 2013, will be taken over the next couple of days."
Kohli was bowled for a duck in the first game in Chennai.
