PBKS chased down a record 264 runs against DC to remain unbeaten in IPL 2026.
The South African pacer was fielding when he moved backwards to try a catch and crashed hard, smacking the back of his head on the turf. Players immediately signaled for medical treatment as the atmosphere inside the stadium changed from the noise of a high-scoring chase to apparent concern.
The medical crew treated him on the ground before placing him on a stretcher and transporting him to the ambulance.
The ambulance transporting Ngidi arrived at BLK-Max Super Specialty Hospital in Rajendra Nagar in approximately 11 minutes, with Delhi Traffic Police clearing the way during evening traffic.
The crucial off-field information was then added by ANI's update, that, in order to expedite the ambulance's journey from the stadium to the hospital, Delhi Traffic Police organized a green corridor.
The reaction revolved around the transfer's pace. An 11-minute trip to BLK-Max demonstrated the urgent collaboration between stadium medical teams and traffic officials in a city where matchday traffic may be heavy, particularly around Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, Delhi Gate, and central Delhi corridors.
