“Team India wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan was struck on the head while batting in 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.”
The BCCI said it’s medical team will continue to “closely monitor his signs of concussion”.
Kishan, who made 16 from 15 deliveries on Saturday, was hit on the head by Kumara in the fourth over during India’s run chase.
The wicketkeeper-batter had removed his helmet immediately after the blow before India’s medical team ran to the field for the concussion test.
Batters Ruturaj Gaikwad and Suryakumar Yadav, and pacer Deepak Chahar are already out of the series with injuries.
India already have clinched the three-match T20I series, having won the first and second game by seven wickets and 62 runs respectively.
