He was later ruled out of the Test. ” Pasindu Sooriyabandara comes in as the concussion replacement for Dinesh Chandimal. Dinesh Chandimal sustained an injury while fielding during the first session on the fourth day, hitting his shoulder and head hard on the ground.
Sri Lanka star batter Dinesh Chandimal was on Tuesday taken to hospital after injuring his shoulder and neck while diving to save a boundary during Day 4 of the Galle Test against India.
He was taken for a precautionary scan, which was clear, with no signs of internal injury,” Sri Lanka Cricket said in a statement.
Asitha claimed a four-wicket haul, while Prabath picked up three wickets. Despite a brisk half-century from Rishabh Pant (66 off 69 balls, including eight fours and two sixes), none of the Indian batters managed to convert their starts into big scores. India, who led by 371 runs, set Sri Lanka a target of 372 to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
Chandimal had earlier scored just four runs in Sri Lanka’s first innings.
Chandimal Ruled Out Due to Concussion; Sooriyabandara to Step In
Dinesh Chandimal has been ruled out of the match after being assessed for concussion by the team doctor and physiotherapist. Pasindu Sooriyabandara will take his place as the concussion replacement, with the match referee granting approval for this change.
Chandimal collapsed near the boundary rope, visibly distressed, and was attended to by teammates and medical staff. During the incident, he was seen holding his neck, head, and shoulder. Despite the discomfort, he was able to walk back to the dressing room on his own.
