Looks like he is okay now, but this is weird and scary.

Mayank Agarwal, the Karnataka captain, was admitted to a private hospital in Agartala on Tuesday after he complained of stomach pain and burning sensation in his throat and mouth after consuming liquid from a bottle that he believed contained drinking water.

 

The incident occurred on Tuesday evening when Agarwal was onboard a flight from Agartala to Surat via New Delhi for Karnataka's fifth-round Ranji Trophy fixture against Railways starting on Friday. Agarwal is believed to have been deplaned and rushed to hospital after a bout of vomiting inside the aircraft, even as the rest of the Karnataka squad continued their onward travel.

 

Agarwal is said to be out of danger, but the severity of his medical condition is yet to be ascertained. The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) is in touch with officials from the Tripura Cricket Association (TCA) and the doctors attending to Agarwal.

 

He is set to undergo a few tests following which a decision will be made if he can return home to Bengaluru over the next couple of days for further examination. This all but rules him out of the upcoming Ranji fixture.

We, of course, cannot fall for the post-hoc ergo propter-hoc (after this, therefore because of this) fallacy. This same fallacy is used by anti-vaxxers and snake oil salesmen to trick people. So, a proper analysis - of what he ate/drank/did in the time leading up to the flight or any infection he may have picked up that just happened to manifest at that moment - must be done before assigning blame to the water bottle/airline.

indeed, let us avoid ad hoc statements until assays of his drink have been performed.
