The incident occurred in the 3rd over of the innings. Priyansh Arya tried to smash Axar Patel for a maximum only to miscue. Ngidi was running backwards trying to catch it but lost it in the sun. The South African fast bowler landed on his head and stayed down, with the physios rushing on the field.
He was placed on a stretcher with the Delhi Capitals doctor on duty conducting tests. Ngidi was fortunately responding to the health care officials, as the ambulance made its way onto the outfield. Several Delhi Capitals players huddled around, with concerned look on their faces.
