Delhi Capitals pacer Lungi Ngidi is recovering well after a head injury during an IPL match against Punjab Kings. The South African player collided with the ground while attempting a catch. Ngidi, who reported a headache and neck pain, received immediate on-field medical attention before being taken to the hospital by ambulance.

The 30-year-old cricketer was quickly transported to BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, facilitated by a green corridor organized by Delhi Traffic Police amid peak traffic. A coordinated effort ensured his swift transfer in just 11 minutes while IPL officials updated that Ngidi was stable and awaited further medical evaluation.

A CT scan cleared Ngidi of any major injury concerns, and he was evaluated by a neurosurgeon. With conditions stable, he is expected to be discharged soon. Meanwhile, Vipraj Nigam replaced Ngidi on the field as a concussion substitute. The prompt response is a testament to effective emergency management during high-pressure sports events.
