Arshad, who had just been introduced into the attack, was preparing to deliver his first ball when he suddenly lost balance and fell to the ground midway through his run-up. The game was halted immediately as teammates and medical personnel rushed to his aid. After a brief on-field assessment, he attempted to resume bowling. However, in an even more distressing replay of the first incident, Arshad once again collapsed in nearly the same manner during his second attempt.

Medical teams promptly intervened, and the bowler was escorted off the field for further evaluation. Initial reports suggest that he may have experienced dizziness or a possible fainting episode, though no official diagnosis has been confirmed at the time of writing.

The match continued after a brief delay, but a tense and somber mood lingered in the stadium. Fans on social media flooded timelines with messages of support and prayers for Arshad’s quick recovery.

Both teams showed great concern and solidarity, with players from GT checking in on Arshad’s condition. LSG has since issued a short statement, confirming that Arshad is stable and under observation by the medical team.

The incident served as a chilling reminder of the physical toll professional sports can take on athletes, and the importance of health and well-being in high-pressure competitions.

More updates are expected as the team provides further clarity on Arshad Khan’s condition.
