Gujarat Titans’ seamer Arshad Khan endured an ugly fall, moments before delivering the ball in his first over of the innings during the IPL 2025 game against the Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday at the Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad. After going down, the team’s physiotherapist ran in to check on him, expressing their concerns.
The moment occurred when the left-arm seamer ran in to deliver the ball and his right foot slipped, going onto the ground. Although the physio was out, Arshad was quickly back onto his feet and was smiling. However, Arshad slipped the second time in the same over and was flat on the floor again but the 27-year-old went on to bowl the remaining two deliveries successfully.
