Former India cricketer Hemang Badani suffered an injury during a pre-match broadcast for Star Sports Tamil channel on day one of the Asia Cup 2022 which kicked off with Afghanistan defeating Sri Lanka on August 27.
Badani who was on air with Krishnamachari Srikkanth on the regional feed was hit with the bat by Srikkanth while the latter was explaining a shot. This left Badani rubbing his elbow and for some time it felt like he would work through the pain.
However, the pain intensified and Badani eventually walked off the stage holding his elbow.
Here is the video:
Badani, who played 4 Tests and 40 ODIs for India, also posted an update for his injury.
He tweeted: “To all enquiring how I am, I am in terrible pain but luckily no fracture. It’s blunt trauma and am under medication. Hope to recover soon and be back on the sets.”
