New Delhi: A rare injury took place during a Lanka Premier League game on Wednesday. In a match between Kandy Falcons and Galle Gladiators, Sri Lanka all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne lost four teeth while taking a catch. Chamika was fielding inside the circle on the off side and ran back to take a catch.
However, he could not judge the ball properly. The ball hit him on his face before he could collect it. He was in pain and urged his teammates not to celebrate the wicket with him.
It was later revealed that Karunaratne was admitted to a hospital in Galle and the Falcons management said that he will be ready for the next stage of the tournament, NDTV reported.
“Chamika Karunarathne is out of today’s game. He lost four teeth in the accident and is on his way to the Galle for immediate surgery with Team Doctor. He’s stable and will be available for the Kandy stage,” Kandy Falcons Team Director, Shyam Impett, told the media.
Falcons won the match by five runs.
