IPL 2025: Akash Singh is severely injured by Shubman Gill’s vicious strike

He bowled a ball that was driven right down the ground while bowling around the wicket to GT captain Shubman Gill.

The ball bounced off his right hand as he tried to stop it. It appeared as though something had fallen off his hand during the accident, and it began to bleed right away. It was not his bowling hand, but the injury appeared to be severe. He had to leave the pitch as his hand was swiftly covered with a big towel. To finish the rest of the over, Avesh Khan was introduced.

On May 22, the Gujarat Titans (GT), the home team, played the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Akash Singh, a left-arm bowler, suffered an injury during the game while bowling the last over of the powerplay.

Earlier, LSG scored an incredible 235 runs in their 20 overs during the first innings. The innings’ standout player was Mitchell Marsh, who amassed an incredible 117 off 64 balls with eight sixes and ten fours. Nicholas Pooran, who hit four fours and five sixes to add 56 runs off just 27 deliveries, provided him with strong support. Sai Kishore and Arshad Khan, both GT bowlers, were only able to take one wicket apiece.

Regarding their IPL 2025 campaign, GT is presently leading the standings with 18 points and has already guaranteed a postseason berth. In order to improve their standing and obtain an edge in the playoffs, they will try to defeat LSG in front of their home crowd.

This match provided LSG, who have already been eliminated from the competition, with a fantastic chance to end their campaign on a high and positive note.
