Lungi Ngidi, a key pacer for the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), will be unavailable for at least two matches as he recovers from a concussion sustained in a recent game against the Punjab Kings. The incident occurred during the third over of the match at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, where Ngidi fell and was subsequently taken to a local hospital. Although X-rays revealed no serious issues, he must adhere to a minimum seven-day rest period mandated by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for concussion cases. As a result, he will miss the upcoming match against the Rajasthan Royals on May 1, and his participation in the match against the Chennai Super Kings on May 5 is still uncertain. This injury adds to the challenges faced by the Delhi Capitals, who are already dealing with the absence of Mitchell Starc, who was cleared to play only from May 1 after missing the first half of the season. In Ngidi's absence, the team has relied on other overseas pacers, including Kyle Jamieson and Dushmantha Chameera, to fill the gap in their bowling lineup.
