India batter Sanju Samson is unlikely to feature in the second T20 International against Sri Lanka here on Thursday due to a knee injury.
Samson hurt his knee while fielding in the series opener which India won by two runs.
He was dismissed cheaply in the India innings.
"Samson has stayed back in Mumbai to get some scans," said a BCCI source.
