Injuries are an inevitable aspect of playing sports. Injuries are rather common in cricket, despite the fact that it is not a contact sport. In spite of this, there was an extremely unusual injury that occurred during a match of the Lanka Premier League on Wednesday. While fielding for the Kandy Falcons against the Galle Gladiators, Sri Lankan all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne suffered the loss of four teeth. In the middle of the circle on the off side, Chamika was fielding the ball when she rushed back to make a catch.
However, he lacked the ability to judge the ball accurately. Before he could get it in his possession, the ball struck him in the face.
He pleaded with his teammates not to celebrate the wicket with him because he was in a lot of pain.
Later on, it was discovered that Karunaratne had been admitted to a hospital in Galle, and the administration of the Falcons have stated that they are confident he will be able to participate in the subsequent stage of the competition.
“The accident caused Chamika Karunarathne to lose four teeth, and he is currently on his way to the Galle for emergency surgery with the team dentist. As a result, he will not be able to compete today.
He’s in good health and should be able to perform on the Kandy stage “Shyam Impett, the Director of the Kandy Falcons Team, spoke to the media. The Falcons prevailed in the match by a score of five runs.
After making the decision to bat first at Hambantota, the Gladiators were able to register a respectable total of 121/8.
In their response, the Falcons were able to chase down the score with five wickets to spare and the same number of overs.
The Falcons are currently in first place in the point standings with two victories from their first two games, while the Gladiators are in third place with no points from their first two matches.
