Sreesanth, Rohit to miss second T20

Mohali: India received a blow on  Friday ahead of the second Twenty20 International against Sri Lanka with pacer S Sreesanth and middle order batsman Rohit Sharma being ruled out of the encounter because of injuries.

While Sreesanth, who missed the first match in Nagpur, has still not recovered from viral infection, Rohit injured his shoulder in the last game.

The injuries have prompted the team management to call in all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja as cover.
