A fan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi got injured after getting hit on the face while trying to catch the ball during Match 40 of IPL 2024 between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians.
The incident occurred in the 14th over of MI's run chase when Tim David was on strike against Khaleel Ahmed. The batter hit the penultimate ball of the over for a six which a fan in the stands tried to catch but missed.
The ball hit him flush on the face after which he had to be rushed out for treatment. He was seen covering his face with a white handkerchief after the blow.
MI are chasing a mammoth target of 258 for victory in the national capital.
DC rode on superb knocks from Jake Fraser-McGurk, Tristan Stubbs and Shai Hope to post 257 for 4 on the board after being asked to bat first by Hardik Pandya.
Fraser-McGurk once again top-scored for Delhi with 84 while Stubbs (48*) and Hope (41) made crucial 40s each to take the hosts past the 200-run mark.
