Sri Lanka pacer Lahiru Kumara bowled a 146 kmph bouncer to the wicketkeeper-batter in the 4th over. That pace delivery struck on his helmet hard as he was attempting a pull shot. Though the physio advised him to not play, he continued it and returned to the pavilion soon, scoring 16 off 15. He went to the normal ward and admitted there as a precautionary measure. Also, he had to go through a CT scan immediately. It is only a matter of a few hours to see if Ishan remains available for the third match of IND vs SL or whether his injury is a serious one.
