Gujarat Titans (GT) pacer Arshad Khan survived injury scare twice in the second over of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 game. Against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium, Titans are striving to beat the Rishabh Pant-led side and avenge their previous defeat against the Lucknow-based team that came at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on April 12. Winning the toss, Gujarat skipper Shubman Gill invited the visitors to bat first. Bowling the opening over of the match, Siraj gave away only eight runs and delivered a decent start to his team.
The next over, Gill handed the ball to Arshad, however, while attempting to bowl his first delivery, the speedster’s back leg slipped on the shining green surface and he landed heavily on his left shoulder. Noting the scene, GT physios walked into the middle to check his condition. The speedster looked a little hurt but came into the attack. In the same over, Arshad slipped again but this time also, he didn’t get injured.

Noting him fall on both instances, the GT team management looked concerned for a moment but when he completed his over, there was sense of relief in the camp.
