Kusal Mendis has taken off the field due to massive chest pain during Sri Lanka's second Test match versus Bangladesh, taking place at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. Mendis was seen leaving the field holding his chest during the 23rd over of Day 1 and was later hospitalised due to the pain.

As per multiple reports, Sri Lanka batsman Kusal Mendis has been hospitalised after complaining of chest pain on Day 1 of the second Test match against Bangladesh in Dhaka. Mendis had to be taken off the field in the 23rd over of Bangladesh’s innings, which was also the last over of the first session before the Lunch break.
