MI vs CSK: Coach Jayawardene clarifies Santner’s concussion substitution

Mitchell Santner, clutching his shoulder after completing a stunning catch to dismiss Kartik Sharma in the 17th over of Chennai Super Kings’ innings, was there for all to see. But when news emerged that Shardul Thakur had replaced Mitchell Santner as a concussion substitute during Mumbai Indians’ chase, it raised more than a few eyebrows.

Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene was quick to clarify the sequence of events, stressing that the injury was not limited to the shoulder.
