‘Chalo koi nahi tailender hi bahar hua hai’ – Fans react as Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka gets ruled out of entire ODI World Cup 2023 due to injury

Sri Lanka’s hopes for a successful campaign in the ODI World Cup 2023 took a significant hit as their captain, Dasun Shanaka, has been ruled out of the entire tournament due to injury. The news has sent shockwaves through the cricketing community and left fans stunned.

Shanaka’s absence will be a significant blow to the Sri Lankan team, as he plays a pivotal role in their batting and bowling line-up. His leadership on the field and ability to perform under pressure made him an invaluable asset to his team. The Sri Lankan allrounder picked a thigh injury during their clash against Pakistan on October 10.

Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment and frustration over the unfortunate turn of events. Many are wishing Shanaka a speedy recovery and expressing hope that he will return stronger than ever. In his absence, Sri Lanka will need to regroup and find a way to fill the void left by their charismatic captain.

Matheesha Pathirana is also suffering from an injury

The ODI World Cup 2023 just became a lot more challenging for Sri Lanka, and fans will be anxiously watching to see how the team responds to this setback. Sri Lanka have already lost their first 2 matches of the World Cup and now in the absence of their regular skipper, it would be very difficult for them to open their winning account in the ongoing grand event. 

Less than 24 hours before facing a major setback, the emerging Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana was declared unavailable for his team’s upcoming World Cup 2023 matches due to a shoulder injury. Pathirana underwent scans, which indicated that he would not be able to participate in the playing eleven for the games against Australia and the Netherlands.
