During an IPL match on April 25, 2026, Lungi Ngidi, a pacer for the Delhi Capitals, suffered a severe injury after falling while attempting a catch. He was taken to BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in Delhi and later discharged, with updates indicating he was stable. The incident sparked discussions about IPL regulations regarding concussion substitutes, as Delhi Capitals were unable to replace Ngidi with Dushmantha Chameera, another overseas player, due to rules limiting the number of foreign players in the playing XI. Instead, they substituted him with Indian player Vipraj Nigam. The match saw Punjab Kings chase down a record target of 265 runs, with KL Rahul scoring an impressive 152 runs. Despite a strong batting performance from the Capitals, they struggled with fielding, dropping multiple catches, which contributed to their defeat. Coach Venugopal emphasized the need for improvement in catching and powerplay bowling as they look to bounce back in future matches.
