/Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is locking horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the last league match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In the second innings, Umran Malik bowled a nasty delivery to the PBKS skipper, Mayank Agarwal and it hit him in the rib cage as he looked in pain.
SRH stand-in skipper Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the toss and decided to bat first against the Punjab Kings. While SRH made a couple of changes to their squad as Romario Shepherd and J Suchith came in for Kane Williamson and T Natarajan, PBKS made three changes as Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Rahul Chahar, and Rishi Dhawan were replaced by Nathan Ellis, Shahrukh Khan, and Prerak Mankad.

Punjab Kings openers, Jonny Bairstow and Shikhar Dhawan gave them a good start. But the English opener was dismissed for 23 from 15 balls. This was followed by Shahrukh Khan’s wicket who managed to score just 19 and then mistimed Umran Malik’s ball and Washington Sundar caught it at long-on.

After this, PBKS skipper Mayank Agarwal walked out to bat against Umran Malik. It was the fourth ball of the over when Umran Malik bowled a short ball that hit Mayank Agarwal in his rib cage and the PBKS skipper looked hurt. Agarwal needed medical attention as he collapsed after reaching the non-strikers’ end and was seen in a lot of pain.
