Lungi Ngidi takes nasty bump while attempting catch, leaves field in ambulance ...Middle East

Delhi Capitals have been dealt with a big blow as Lungisani Ngidi has suffered a nasty neck injury while fielding during the game against Punjab Kings on Saturday. Such was the impact of the incident that he had to be carried off the field in an ambulance and was seen being completely immobile after having a scary fall that saw the back of his head bounce off the ground as he failed to take a catch. The DC vs PBKS game was paused for a significant amount of time as the South African was being attended to by medical staff, the team’s physio and others, with players wearing a concerned look.

Ngidi leaves field in ambulance after nasty bump

The incident occurred in the third delivery of the 3rd over as Axar Patel was bowling to Priyansh Arya. The PBKS batter attempted a big hit towards mid-off, and Ngidi was seen running backwards to take a catch. However, the South African not only missed the catch but also had a nasty landing, following which he was down. While the physio and the doctors rushed out, an ambulance and a stretcher was out on the field in a little time, forcing the pacer to be carried off the field. Dushmantha Chameera has been named as the substitute and Ngidi will be taken to the hospital for further scans.

The pause in play due to Ngidi saw not just DC team officials rush out but also members of the PBKS team management rushing out to the middle to check the nature of the injury. DC coach Hemang Badai had a few words with the medical staff, where he was seemingly suggesting that a neck brace be put in place before Ngidi is carried off the field. The South African was yet to bowl in the game where DC have set a mammoth target of 265 runs.
