Mumbai Indians set a target of 206 runs for Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2025 match. Tilak Varma’s explosive batting was a highlight, as he smashed a century. His shot in the 19th over caused a collision between Delhi players Ashutosh Sharma and Mukesh Kumar as they chased the ball.
A Close Call on the Field
The incident occurred when Tilak hit a shot towards the boundary. Ashutosh, positioned at backward point, and Mukesh, at short third man, sprinted to stop the ball. In their haste, they collided, prompting the Delhi medical team to rush onto the field. The game was briefly halted as the players’ condition was assessed. Although both were taken off the field as a precaution, Mukesh returned later, indicating that their injuries weren’t severe.
