The first match of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) was a thrilling encounter between defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). In the end, it was KKR who came out on top, winning by six wickets.
However, there was one moment during the match that had everyone talking. In the 15th over of the CSK innings, a delivery from KKR bowler Sunil Narine was hit straight back at him by CSK batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad. The ball flew off the bat at a great speed and hit a fan in the head, who was sitting in the stands behind the wicket.
The fan was immediately taken to hospital, where he was treated for a head injury. Thankfully, he was released from hospital a few hours later and is now recovering at home.
The incident caused a stir on social media, with many people expressing their concern for the fan. However, there were also some people who found the incident to be funny. One Twitter user joked that the fan had been "given a free haircut" by Gaikwad. Another user said that the fan was "lucky to be alive" after being hit by such a fast ball.
The incident is a reminder of the dangers of being a cricket fan. Cricket balls can travel at speeds of up to 150 km/h, and even a glancing blow can cause serious injury. If you're ever sitting in the stands at a cricket match, it's important to be aware of your surroundings and to take precautions to protect yourself.
In the end, the incident was a reminder of the excitement and danger of cricket. It's a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, but it's important to remember that there are risks involved. If you're ever planning on attending a cricket match, it's important to be aware of the risks and to take precautions to protect yourself.
