A moment of deep concern gripped the Narendra Modi Stadium<\/strong> during Match 9 of IPL 2025<\/strong>, as Suryakumar Yadav<\/strong> was struck on the helmet<\/strong> by a sharp bouncer from Prasidh Krishna<\/strong>. Attempting a scoop shot off a slower short ball, SKY only managed a top edge that smashed into the peak of his helmet<\/strong>, causing him to fall flat on the pitch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The silence from the crowd turned into alarm as the Mumbai Indians (MI)<\/strong> star lay motionless for a few seconds<\/strong>, triggering fear among fans and teammates. The ball struck dangerously close to the grille, near his right eye, but thankfully the helmet absorbed the impact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After a few tense moments, SKY slowly sat up, prompting a huge cheer of relief<\/strong> from the Ahmedabad crowd. Medical staff rushed in for an assessment, and he resumed play after passing a quick on-field check.<\/p>\n
