"He wasn't responding" - Hemang Badani on Lungi Ngidi's condition
"He wasn’t responding to simple things like, can you lift your hand? Can you lift your right hand, your left finger, your left thumb? There was no response. At that point, we were all panicking. But I thought Craig, our physio, did a fabulous job to make sure that he was in the ambulance quickly. Later in the evening, we got to figure out with the scans that he’s okay, and now he’s seen back on the park," Badani told the host broadcaster.
Despite missing two matches, Lungi Ngidi is still the Delhi Capitals' second-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2026. In 8 matches, he has 8 wickets, while only skipper Axar Patel has more for the franchise.
Delhi Capitals' next match
DC will stay at home in Delhi for their next match in the tournament. They are currently seventh on the points table and will take on eighth-placed Kolkata Knight Riders on May 9.
