Pakistan batter Agha Salman suffered a cut on his face after attempting a paddle-sweep off left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja during the Asia Cup 2023 Super Four match at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Monday.
After walking in at number five during Pakistan’s mammoth chase, Salman opted to take on the spinner without the helmet. Jadeja’s flatter delivery, the last of the 21st over, prompted a sweep from the Pakistan batter. However, he ended up getting a top-edge onto his face, with blood dripping from below his right eye.

The injury caused a stoppage in play on the reserve day, with Salman being tended to by the physios. The 29-year-old underwent a concussion test and resumed batting with a helmet.
Salman was then trapped leg-before on 23 after attempting another sweep shot against Kuldeep Yadav.
Pakistan is chasing a record total against India after conceding the joint-highest score (356/2) in the ODI contests between the sides.
