IND vs SL Injury Updates? What Happened?

When the ball is pulled in between Vandersay and Ashen Bandara, who are both attempting to stop it, one of them uses the type of sliding challenge one typically sees in football to take out the other player. As soon as both men are down, the ball slides away to the cushions.

Vandersay is the one who is in difficulty right away since Bandara’s knee got caught in her stomach. Additionally, the volunteers arrived there quickly. Vandersay is moaning in agony and awaiting transfer while Bandara is being carried away on a stretcher. Bandara is conscious while wearing the neck brace.

IND vs SL: Shubham Gill Smashing his Second ODI Century

The India opener played a fantastic knock, In just 89 balls Shubman Gill scores his second ODI century. After Shikhar Dhawan’s lacklustre performance, Gill was given the chance at the top and he seized it with both hands.  

With the help of 11 fours and a few sixes, Gill reaches the three-figure threshold. Shubham Gill was going well until Rajitha bowled him out when he was batting at 116 from 97 balls.

Seven bowlers were employed by the Sri Lankan skipper Dasuan Sanaka who tried everything possible to stop the Indian batsman as they once again failed to stop the Indian batsman from taking the game away. 

Kasun Rajitha and Lahiru Kumara were the only two bowlers who picked up two wickets each but both of them were expensive, which did not help Sri Lanka in any way. Chamika Karunaratne also managed to pick up one wicket, but they gave away 58 runs in his 8-over spell. 

Overall Sri Lankan Bowlers were expensive as they looked tired and inexperienced. As it was all about Virat Kohli and Shubham gill in the first innings.
