    IPL 2026: DC’s Venugopal Rao Says Ngidi Injury ‘not Serious’, Chahal Hopes For Quick Recovery

    Cricket Venugopal Rao: Delhi Capitals (DC) Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao said pacer Lungi Ngidi’s head injury sustained during the IPL clash against Punjab Kings was “not serious,” even as the South African was taken to Max Hospital in Karol Bagh for tests after being taken off the field in an ambulance.

    In the third over of Punjab Kings chase, Ngidi fell backwards while trying to catch Priyansh Arya at mid-off, banging his head hard into the turf. He clutched his head immediately and lay on the ground as medical staff rushed in. Play was halted for 15 minutes before Ngidi was stretchered into an ambulance, amidst players, coaches and medical staff having tense expressions.

    “Still, I think it is not serious. He is still in the hospital. We will update, but nothing serious,” Rao said after the game ended. On the confusion around concussion substitution, where Dushmantha Chameera was named first and later replaced by Vipraj Nigam, Rao clarified, “Only four overseas players are allowed. There is a rule. We cannot take a fifth overseas player. Simple.”
