With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 getting exciting with each passing day, in match number 39, which was played between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 27, Axar Patel & Co crumbled, registering their third consecutive defeat. After being put to bat first, DC were depleted to 75/10 in 16.3 overs and RCB chased the total in 6.3 overs, courtesy of a 51-run unbeaten stand for the second wicket between Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal.
Lungi Ngidi’s injury update
While the DC were certainly out of rhythm from the very start, they were missing their pace spearhead Lungi Ngidi, who had suffered a horrific injury in a home game against Punjab Kings (PBKS). But following their humiliating defeat against the defending champions, the DC side were handed a big relief around Ngidi’s participation in the cash-rich league.
According to recent reports, the Protean pacer is set to miss DC’s upcoming game against Rajasthan Royals (RR), which is scheduled for May 1. However, the side is likely to be strengthened by the presence of Mitchell Starc, who will be available for their upcoming game.
What a relief.. Lungi Ngidi has been discharged from the hospital and is back on his feet. Seeing the big South African speedster smiling and recovering so quickly after that scary moment feels incredibly good. Prayers answered. #DCVRCB pic.twitter.com/1N8kFiEXhh
— Nibraz Ramzan (@nibraz88cricket) April 27, 2026While a confirmation is still awaited from the DC’s management, but this comes after he rejoined the squad following a hospitalisation after the injury. Elaborating on his injury, he sustained it in the second innings while attempting a catch of Priyansh Arya during Axar Patel’s over. Following the incident, he was seen in immense pain and was stretched off the field and rushed to the hospital.
Lungi Ngidi’s injury looks horrible. His entire body weight seems to be on his neck I hope he recovers soon and that it’s not too serious. Get well soon, Ngidi pic.twitter.com/WwbUWLTcJN
— BlueGreen Planet (@De_le_Vega) April 25, 2026Although he has returned to the side, according to the ICC rules, a player diagnosed with a concussion needs a mandatory 7-day rest and as a result, he missed the game against RCB and will miss the upcoming fixture against DC, thus likely to make his return in DC’s home game against CSK.
