Jaipur, Dec 26 (PTI) Mumbai opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi was rushed to hospital on Friday after a heavy fall while attempting a difficult catch left him with an injury just below the neck and a concussion during his team’s Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Uttarakhand here.
The 21-year-old has since been discharged and returned to the team hotel after scans revealed nothing serious.
The incident occurred in the 30th over, bowled by off-spinner Tanush Kotian. Right-handed batter Saurabh Rawat attempted a slog-sweep and Raghuvanshi, stationed at deep mid-wicket, sprinted in towards mid-wicket to get hold of the top edge.
However, his valiant one-handed effort didn’t yield the desired result but in the process he had a nasty fall and his head hit the ground,
resulting in a concussion.
Raghuvanshi got back on his haunches for a few seconds but then lay on the ground, prompting Mumbai’s physio to rush to the field.
Once they understood that he was unable to get back on his feet, a stretcher was called and the waiting ambulance took him to the nearest SDMH Hospital. PTI KHS APA APA
