During the IPL 2026 match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 25, Lungi Ngidi (DC pacer) suffered a serious head injury while fielding. Attempting a catch during the second innings, Ngidi fell awkwardly, striking the back of his head on the ground. Medical staff quickly attended to him, and he was stretchered off to the hospital. This incident caused a significant delay in play and raised concerns among players and fans alike. Dushmantha Chameera replaced Ngidi as a concussion substitute, marking Ngidi as the fifth player in IPL history to be substituted for concussion. His absence is a major setback for DC, who were already facing a challenging run chase against PBKS, with the score at 92-0 after just five overs.
