IND v SL: Sri Lanka's Madushanka injured, doubtful for second ODI at Eden Image

Dilshan Madushanka, Sri Lanka's all-rounder, has a shoulder injury and is doubtful for the second One-Day International (ODI) against India, which will be played at Eden Gardens here later on Thursday.

Madushanka sustained the injury while diving in the outfield during the first ODI in Guwahati, his debut match, and was sent for an X-ray and MRI, according to a tweet from Sri Lanka Cricket on Wednesday.

The Sri Lanka team management will make a decision on his participation in the second ODI on Thursday after receiving the reports.

Meanwhile, the visitors were concerned about another injury.

"Chamika Karunaratne's upper lip was injured when she was struck by a ball just before the first ODI's toss. He received three stitches and played in the game on the advice of the team's medical staff. He is expected to play in the second ODI "Sri Lanka Cricket informed the public via another tweet.

Skipper Dasun Shanaka hit a valiant unbeaten 108, but it was in vain as India won the first ODI by 67 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.

Madushanka made his debut in that match, taking 1-43 in six overs as India scored 373/7 in 50 overs. Madushanka did not bat in that match.
