Indian batter and wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan was rushed to the hospital in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh after sustaining a blow to the head in the 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka. Ishan was hit on the head off the bowling of Lahiru Kumara and went down immediately. But he carried on playing for some time before getting out to Kumara after giving a simple catch to Dasun Shanaka. Dinesh Chandimal also has been admitted to the hospital after sustaining a finger injury in the match.
Ishan Kishan Admitted to the Hospital:
The ball hit Ishan Kishan straight on the helmet. He did not collapse down but the play had to stop to follow the concussion protocol. The incident happened in the second innings of the game, the Indian batting innings. The ball was quickly bowled at 146 kmph. He has been admitted as a precautionary measure and a CT scan is being conducted.
“I have been attached to the Indian team and I got information that an Indian player, who has sustained a head injury, has been brought here in the hospital. His CT scan was conducted and he has been under observation,” said Dr. Shubham who has been handling the case. “A Sri Lankan player has also been admitted to the hospital, after receiving a thumb injury in the second T20I. We are monitoring everything right now,” Dr. Shubham added referring to the case of Dinesh Chandimal.
