Sanju Samson’s shot was heavy! Umpire injured after being hit hard by ball; watch video

Actually, this incident happened in the 9th over of the Indian innings, when Sanju Samson looked completely set. In the same over, he played a straight and flat shot down the ground. Donovan Ferreira, who was bowling, tried to catch the ball, but the speed of the ball was so high that it slipped from his hand and went straight to the knee of umpire Rohan Pandit.

As soon as the ball hit, Rohan Pandit sat on the ground groaning in pain. Indian and South African players including Sanju Samson immediately reached him. Physios of both the teams came to the field and the umpire was treated. The game was halted for a few minutes, but the matter of relief was that after first aid, Rohan Pandit stood up again and continued the match.
