The incident happened on the second ball of the penultimate over.
Delhi Capitals (DC) players Ashutosh Sharma and Mulesh Kumar were involved in a nasty collision during their match against the Mumbai Indians in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).
The incident happened on the second ball of the penultimate over which was bowled by Mukesh Kumar.
Tilak took on a full ball that angled across him and he ended up slicing it. Ashutosh at backward point and Mukesh at short third converged and Ashutosh, who had his right arm outstretched, ended up not being able to hold onto the ball as the duo rammed into each other.
Following the clash, Mukesh seemed to have injured his shoulder and Ashutosh also looked hurt as the physios attended them. Both players eventually had to leave the field and are getting treatment in the dugout now.
