The BCCI has not officially commented on the matter. At present, Ishan's CT scan has been done and he is absolutely healthy. In the match, he scored 16 runs off 15 balls and was caught by Dasun Sanaka off Kumar's bowling.

India managed to register an easy win owing to the batting master class of Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja. Iyer, who was named man of the match has been in tremendous form of late.
