Lungi Ngidi has suffered a serious injury, and for the first time in IPL history, an ambulance has come onto the ground. This looks very serious—possibly a neck fracture, but hopefully it’s nothing that severe. 😱

Actually, during the innings of Punjab Kings, Lungi Ngidi jumped in the air in an attempt to catch a catch, but during this his body balance got badly disturbed and he fell down on his head. Ngidi suffered serious injuries to his head and neck after falling to the ground.
After this, he was laid on a stretcher and immediately taken to the hospital via ambulance. Delhi Capitals clearly missed Ngidi in the match. Punjab Kings achieved the target of 265 runs given by Delhi Capitals by losing 4 wickets in 18.5 overs. This was the biggest run chase in IPL history.
