Rashid Khan of Sunrisers Hyderabad suffered a nasty midfield collision with a teammate with Abhishek Sharma while attempting to complete two runs in the third IPL match between SRH and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
The unfortunate incident occurred on the last ball of 17 when Sharma hit the ball back into the deep square. After completing one race, the duo decided to go for the second.

That slight hesitation led them both to watch the ball as they collided without realizing they were running down the same line.
As a result, Sharma was left without while Rashid limped to the bowler’s end. The leg spinner writhed in pain as the physical therapist performed a concussion control. Fortunately, there was no immediate cause for concern.
Rashid wasn’t the only injury scare for Hyderabad. Australian off-roader Mitchell Marsh suffered an ankle injury while bowling. Marsh, 28, sprained his ankle on follow-up during the fifth over of RCB innings and was seen limping off the ground.
Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 runs. Chasing a goal of 164, the SRH scored 153 in 19.4 overs, despite a 61 of 43 balls from England hitter and goalkeeper Jonny Bairstow.
Previously, Devdutt Padikkal’s impressive 56 on his debut and an explosive half-century typical of AB de Villiers (51) helped the Bangalore Royal Challengers post 163 out of 5 after being sent at bat.
