A massive blow for the Island Nation, as Sri Lanka's star all-rounder and former captain, Wanindu Hasaranga, has been ruled out of the ODI series against India due to a hamstring injury. 

This decision is due to the unexpected hamstring injury he suffered during the first ODI against Rohit Sharma and Co at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. He is expected to be missing the remaining two games of the series.

It seems like things are not in Sri Lanka's favour as numerous cricketers like Mateestha Pathirana and Dilshan Madushanka were ruled out from the series before it even began.

Hasaranga played a pivotal role during the first ODI vs India, both with the bat and the ball, helping his side end things in a surprising tie. The Lankan Lions managed to score a total of 230/8 after winning the toss and opting to bat first and still managed to tie the game as they successfully bowled India out for 230 runs inside 48 overs.

Meanwhile, India are coming strong from a T20I series win under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir.

The next  ODI game is slated to take place on 4th August.
