Cricket has seen some gruesome injuries happening to players over time, be it someone breaking his fingers, arms, toes, and even ribs. However, in a recent instance, Sri Lanka seamer Chamika Karunaratne lost four&nbsp;of his teeth while attempting to take a catch during a game between Galle Gladiators and the Kandy Falcons in the Lanka Premier League 2022. This whole event recorded on camera looked bad, as Chamika was seen bleeding just after grabbing the catch.

During the fourth over of the Gladiator’s innings, batsman Nuwanidu Fernando hit the ball in the air off Carlos Brathwaite which looked like finding a fielder. Chamika Karunaratne, standing at the covers ran behind with two more fielders going for the grab; without much trouble, he did catch it but had to pay a price. The ball hit straight in his mouth, breaking his teeth, four in particular.

Talking about the match, Galle Gladiators could only post 121 for 8 in 20 overs. The star for the Kandy Falcons was none other than the man in form, Carlos Brathwaite, who picked up four wickets for 14 runs in four overs. While chasing the Kandy Falcons didn’t make a mess of it and hunted down the target with five wickets in hand. With two wins in two games now, they are leading the points table.

Sri Lanka stunned Bangladesh by two wickets to knock them out of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 on Thursday (September 01). It was a thrilling run-chase as Sri Lanka nailed down the target of 184 runs with four balls to spare at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai to secure a spot in the Super Four.

Sri Lankan all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne mocked the Bangladesh team by pulling off some bizarre dance moves while celebrating his team's victory. Karunaratne did the famous 'snake dance' also known as 'Naagin dance', which Bangladesh players have previously performed on several occasions.

It was an enthralling battle between the two teams as they locked horns in the virtual knockout clash. Batting first, Bangladesh rode on Mosaddek Hossain's brilliant finishing cameo of 24 off 9 balls and crucial knocks from the likes of Mehidy Hasan (38) and Afif Hossain (39) to post a strong total of 183 runs on the board.

In reply, Sri Lanka got off to a solid start with openers Pathum Nissanka (20) ad Kusal Mendis (60) adding 45 runs for the first wicket. Mendis batted brilliantly as he held the crease strong on one end as the Lankans kept losing wickets at regular intervals on the other end.

However, a captain's knock of 45 runs from Dasun Shanaka and Karunaratne's 10-ball 16 helped Sri Lanka prevail in the 184-run chase to keep their Asia Cup dream alive. Following his team's win, Karunaratne was seen doing the 'naagin dance' in the dugout as a&nbsp;clip of his moves went viral.

Sri Lanka is currently facing one of the worst-ever economic crises in the country's history. There has been a shortage of essential supplies, and fuel while regular power cuts have continuously troubled the people in the ongoing difficult times. People are struggling to get petrol for their vehicles and are waiting in queues for hours at fuel stations.

While the economic crisis has led to soaring inflation and a shortage of supply, the country is also dealing with political instability. No one has been left unaffected as even the celebrities in the country are dealing with similar issues as any other common man.

Recently, Sri Lankan cricketer Chamika Karunaratne opened up on his struggles to get fuel for his vehicle. He revealed he had to wait in a queue outside a fuel station for a couple of days in order to get his vehicle refilled. The all-rounder was part of the recently-concluded series between Australia in Sri Lanka in the island nation.

Karunaratne said he has to travel to several different places in the next few days for training and to play matches as the domestic season is on but there is a fuel crisis in the country at present. "We've to go for practices in Colombo &amp; to different other places as club cricket season is on but I've been standing in queue for fuel for past 2 days. I got it filled for Rs 10,000 which will last 2-3 days..," the Sri Lankan cricketer told Indian news agency ANI.

He also went on to thank India for its support to Sri Lanka in time of crisis and said India has been like a brother to his country. "India is like a brother country &amp; they are helping us a lot. I thank them so much. We have problems. They are supporting us when we are struggling. Thank you so much for that. Thank you for everything. We will get better and better," Karunaratne added.
