The Delhi Capitals pacer Lungisani Ngidi has posted on Instagram that everything is fine. Ngidi was taken out of the game against the Punjab Kings using an ambulance. It was a very difficult couple of moments for everybody in the ground as Ngidi was not looking good. In an attempt to take one of the wickets of the openers, Ngidi was back strolling and he ended up falling and hitting the back of his head. The physios rushed out in distress as it wasn’t looking good for him and then the play was halted for some time. Dushmantha Chameera came in place of Ngidi in the match and he could bowl 4 overs as well.

The Punjab Kings had pulled off a spectacular run chase against the Delhi Capitals but there was still an air of doubt regarding Ngidi. Both the teams coaches and players had rushed onto the field to know what had happened and it was deemed to be serious. This moment did have an impact in the game as the chance was missed Ngidi was one of their in-form bowlers. Chameera couldn’t fill his void as he would have liked to as he wasn’t threatening as much with the ball.

KL Rahul pulled the rabbit out of the hat in the first innings of the game as he smashed 152 runs.
