Venkatesh iyer collapse on field

[vayuu1]

In the ongoing Duleep Trophy semi-final between West Zone and Central Zone, Venkatesh Iyer got hit on the neck by a throw from the bowler Chintan Gaja. Iyer was batting on 6 when the incident took place and he had just come to the crease after Central Zone had suffered a top order batting collapse. The all-rounder was spotted in pain after the incident and the ambulance had to come in to take him out of the ground. 

However, the man decided to walk off and not use the stretcher. Iyer had to retire hurt, and certainly, it was a painful incident to swallow for the fans at the SNR Cricket College Ground in Coimbatore. Central Zone desperately wanted Iyer at the crease to stay long after having lost half of the side for just 66 runs on the board and it was down to Iyer and skipper Karan Sharma to bail the side out of trouble.  

 

The good news is that, Iyer came out to bat again after the loss of seventh wicket and has joined his skipper Karan Sharma who is trying to show some resistance. Earlier on the day, Jaydev Unadkat did bulk of the damage by picking up three wickets for just 24 runs while Atit Seth picked up two wickets for the West Zone.  

Thank God

Hope he is well and will have no long term effects.

This is more disappointing than Iyer injury.

Bad spot to get hit. Phil Hughes got hit on the neck which led to brain haemorrhage. Good that he is alright.

Exactly. He should be advised not to play the rest of this match and be kept under observation.

I was hit on my head by cricket ball and I have been suffering long term issues. People may look fine immediately like I was but we never know how these issues manifest.

Stupid decision to bat again. Somebody should advise him to drop out the match. There are concussion subs for a reason. Jaan hain to jahaan hain!  Glad he is ok

That's crazy. Hopefully no long term Injury.
