Wanindu Hasaranga braves injury in IND vs SL clash, Sri Lanka star ends Asia Cup 2025 on sour note

-

Wanindu Hasaranga had a night to forget in Dubai on Friday. The Sri Lankan all-rounder suffered what appeared to be a side strain in the IND vs SL clash in Asia Cup 2025. The former captain however pulled through and completed his spell, despite being in excruciating pain.

Injury trouble for Wanindu Hasaranga again

Wanindu Hasaranga is amongst the most vital players in the Sri Lankan side but his availability has been reduced due to injuries. The all-rounder was in fact a doubt to make it to the Asia Cup 2025 and had missed the series against Bangladesh earlier this year. Hasaranga however passed a late fitness test and since has featured in all of Sri Lanka’s matches in the Asia Cup.

Unfortunately for the 28-year-old, he did not escape the tournament unscathed. In the IND vs SL game, Hasaranga suffered a side strain during bowling. The Sri Lanka star clutched his side mid way through his 3rd over and was visibly in pain.

The all-rounder finished his over and received some treatment off the field. He did return to finish his spell, but was hurt and spoke to the umpire while walking back. Whether the 28-year-old will come out to bat remains to be seen.

Hasaranga did not enjoy the best of outings against India, with Sanju Samson taking him down. The leg spinner finished with figures of 1/37 in his four overs, while struggling with pain. The Sri Lankan is by far his team’s best bowler of the tournament, finishing with 8 wickets.

With nine wickets down for just 64, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were staring down the barrel of humiliation. In a rain-shortened 14-over clash against Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy, the memories of their infamous 49 all-out threatened to resurface. But Tim David had other plans. His unbeaten 50 off 26 balls wasn’t just a rescue act—it was a declaration. Tim David’s best IPL knock On a night when RCB’s other ten batters combined for just 44 runs, David stood tall to hammer 50 runs off 26 alone. Remember he was picked up for just Rs 3 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction! Bargain stuff. The surface wasn’t easy, and Punjab’s bowlers made life tougher. Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal bowled unchanged spells, choking RCB’s top and middle order with smart variations. The scoreboard read 36/5 at one point, with batters falling to mistimed slogs and mistreated short balls. But amid the chaos, David brought calm and calculation. RCB were 74/9 when David took strike for the final over. Wha...
