However, Tamil Nadu lost the game by 63 runs.

Following the game, Dinesh Karthik revealed that Indrajith hurt himself during the innings break, and had a deep cut on the upper lip. The right-handed batter was taken to the hospital after the game and received stitches.

“Thank you all for your concern and wishes. Slipped and fell very badly when I stepped out of the ice bath mid-inning. Fell face-on in the bathroom and was shaken up quite a bit. Was bleeding with a deep cut on the upper lip and the inside of the lip. Managed to bat somehow but was gutted to not cross the finish line for the team. Just went to the hospital and got my stitches done. Should be back soon. Thank you once again,” wrote Baba Indrajith on Instagram.
