Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Mumbai’s young batter, was rushed to a local hospital on Friday after sustaining an injury just below his neck while attempting a difficult catch at mid-wicket off a Tanush Kotian delivery.
The incident unfolded in the 30th over of the second innings of the Mumbai-Uttarakhand Vijay Hazare Trophy match, when Saurabh Rawat’s slog-sweep took a top edge. Positioned near the deep mid-wicket boundary, Raghuvanshi charged in and dived in an effort to complete the catch. In the process, he struck his head on the turf and was left in visible discomfort.
Mumbai players and the medical staff immediately attended to him before Raghuvanshi was stretchered off the field and taken to a nearby hospital for scans and further medical assessment. There was a delay in arranging the stretcher and ambulance, during which he appeared to struggle to move his neck.
After investigations, he was discharged from the hospital. “The doctors examined him, and all reports were normal. He suffered a concussion, but is now doing fine,” a team source confirmed.
