  "account": "During the first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Galle, a harrowing incident occurred when KL Rahul's sweep shot struck Nishan Madushka on the helmet. The unfortunate event transpired off the final delivery of Prabath Jayasuriya's over. Rahul executed a well-timed sweep, but Madushka, stationed at short leg, was directly in the line of the shot. Despite Madushka swiftly lowering his head to protect himself, the ball still connected with him on the center of his helmet. Rahul rushed to check on his teammate upon realizing the severity of the situation. As soon as Rahul completed his run, he rushed towards Madushka to ensure he was okay. Madushka was then escorted off the field and underwent concussion checks by the medical team. The incident left both teams' players concerned as they assessed Madushka's condition, and both India and Sri Lanka aimed to secure crucial World Test Championship points in the opening Test of a two-match series.",
