Overview
- The Delhi Capitals pacer hit the back of his head while backtracking for a catch against Punjab Kings on Saturday, prompting a 14–15 minute halt and a stretcher evacuation.
- Medical teams fitted a neck brace and moved him by ambulance to a New Delhi hospital as Delhi Police cleared a green corridor that cut travel to about 11 minutes.
- The IPL said he was responsive and stable, and venue doctors reported a normal CT scan with no spinal injury.
- Delhi brought on Vipraj Nigam as a concussion substitute under league rules, allowing a like-for-like replacement for a head injury.
- Hours later he was discharged, returned to the team hotel, and posted that he was “all good,” with franchise medical staff to continue monitoring.
