New Delhi/Bhubaneswar: Team India wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the third and final T20I against Sri Lanka, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Sunday.
"Kishan was struck on the head while batting in the 2nd T2OI at Dharamsala on Saturday. Accompanied by a Team Doctor, he was taken to a local hospital last night for a check-up where a CT scan was conducted. The findings of the CT scan are normal," said the BCCi in a statement.
"The BCCI Medical Team will continue to closely monitor his signs of concussion," the statement added.
Riding on explosive knocks from Shreyas Iyer (74 not out off 44), Ravindra Jadeja (45 not out off 18) and Sanju Samson (39 off 25), India thrashed Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the second T20I, to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, at the picturesque HPCA Stadium on Saturday.
With this win, India also extended their winning run in T20I cricket to 11 matches, a streak that began at last year's T20 World Cup.
