ISHAN KISHAN TAKEN TO HOSPITAL AFTER BLOW TO THE HEAD

(The Quiver): India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan was rushed to a hospital in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh after he sustained a head injury while batting during the second T20I against Sri Lanka on Saturday. Apart from Ishan Kishan, Sri Lanka batter Dinesh Chandimal was also taken to the hospital after he endured a thumb injury while fielding in the second T20I.

The incident took place in the fourth over of the Indian innings when a pacy delivery hit Kishan on his helmet while the batter was trying to play a pull shot. However, 23-year-old Kishan continued playing despite the physio advising against it but lost his wicket soon after and walked back to the pavilion after scoring just 16 runs off 15 balls.

It remains to be seen if Ishan Kishan’s injury is a serious one and if he will be available for the third T20I which is scheduled to take place on Sunday.
