Delhi Capitals batter sahil parakh was taken to a hospital in Delhi after a serious injury during a practice session at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday afternoon ET. The 18-year-old was struck on the face by a ball while batting in the nets, and the session stopped immediately. Medical staff gave first aid on the ground before an ambulance arrived and he was placed on a stretcher for specialist care.
Emergency response at the ground
The incident unfolded quickly and left visible concern within the Delhi camp. The injury caused immediate distress and bleeding, while teammates and support staff were seen worried as sahil parakh was assisted into the emergency vehicle. He was moved to a nearby medical facility in Delhi for further evaluation.
The franchise had not issued a formal statement on the extent of the injury at the time of this update ET. Early reports indicate that diagnostic scans have already been carried out, but the results have not been confirmed publicly. The only clear immediate facts are that the practice session was halted, an ambulance was used, and sahil parakh was taken for specialist care.
sahil parakh and the Delhi Capitals squad
sahil parakh had been training with the squad ahead of the upcoming fixture against the Punjab Kings, scheduled for Saturday afternoon ET. He is the left-handed opening batter who was acquired by the Capitals for ₹30 lakh in the most recent auction. The latest injury concern now adds another difficult moment for a Delhi side already dealing with a sombre atmosphere after the accident.
What the camp is waiting for
No timeline has been given for his return, and no medical outcome has been confirmed. The team management is expected to provide a fuller update once the examination results are confirmed. For now, the focus remains on his condition, the scans, and whether sahil parakh will be cleared for any future involvement after this frightening blow.
The situation remains fluid, and the next official update will be crucial. Until then, the only confirmed development is that sahil parakh was rushed from the field after a facial blow and taken in for medical evaluation in Delhi.
