NEW DELHI: Mumbai opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi was taken to hospital on Friday after a heavy fall while attempting a challenging catch left him with an injury below the neck and a concussion during his side's Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Uttarakhand in Jaipur.

The 21-year-old has since been discharged and returned to the team hotel after medical scans confirmed there was nothing serious.

The incident took place in the 30th over, with off-spinner Tanush Kotian in action. Saurabh Rawat went for a slog-sweep, and Raghuvanshi, positioned at deep mid-wicket, charged in to intercept the top edge.

However, his valiant one-handed effort didn't yield result but in the process he had a nasty fall which hurt his shoulder and his head hit the ground, resulting in a concussion.

Raghuvanshi got back on his haunches for a few seconds but then lay on the ground, prompting Mumbai's physio to rush to the field.

Once they understood that he was unable to get back on his feet, a stretcher was called and the waiting ambulance took him to the nearest SDMH Hospital where he will be kept under observation apart from performing all the necessary scans.
