During the first Test between Sri Lanka and India, veteran Sri Lankan player Dinesh Chandimal suffered an injury scare on Day 4. While attempting to prevent a boundary near the boundary ropes, Chandimal threw himself into a dive and landed awkwardly, causing concern among the Sri Lankan team. The 36-year-old was immediately assessed by the team physiotherapist and was then taken to the hospital for a precautionary scan to determine the extent of his injuries.
Although the scans were precautionary, the medical team awaited further clarity on Chandimal's condition. There were no immediate signs of a serious injury, but his shoulder and neck discomfort needed to be assessed. The team management is hopeful that Chandimal will recover quickly and be available for the remainder of the Test.
India had taken a 178-run lead after bowling Sri Lanka out for 284, and Chandimal had managed just 4 runs in the first innings. Nonetheless, he remains a key player for Sri Lanka in their attempt to salvage the match.
