The incident took place in the 18th over of the first innings. Mukesh Kumar after his expensive buy to the Capitals was struggling to finish his spell on a good note. Aiming to restrict Pooran from hitting big shots, the Indian pacer opted for flat full toss at the left-hander. Despite Krunal Pandya deciding to take evasive action, he failed.
Pandya was very fortunate that the ball went on to hit him right into the pads with a huge force. Pandya immediately fell to the ground but then signaled that he was fine. It could have been a major accident had the ball not hit his pads and the non-striker could have been forced to the leave the pitch on stretchers.
