00:00 In a surprising turn of events, on Tuesday evening, the cricket community was left in
00:10 shock as Mayank Agarwal, the sidelined Indian opener and captain of Karnataka, found himself
00:17 rushed to the hospital.
00:19 This sudden development occurred just moments before his scheduled flight to New Delhi was
00:24 set to take off.
00:26 Mayank Agarwal is currently reported to be out of danger thankfully after consuming liquid
00:32 from a pouch mistakenly thinking it was water.
00:35 The incident took place while he was on board Indigo Airlines, where the pouch had been placed
00:41 on its seat.
00:42 However, a police complaint has been lodged by his manager under NCCPS, which is New Capital
00:49 Complex Police Station, to investigate the incident further.
00:53 As explained by SP, West Tripura Kiran Kumar.
00:57 The manager revealed that while on the airplane, Mayank consumed a liquid from a pouch in front
01:03 of him experiencing mouth irritation and difficulty in speaking.
01:07 He was promptly taken to ILS hospital where he was found to having swellings and ulcers
01:13 in mouth despite stable vitals.
01:16 In the aftermath of leading Karnataka to a 29-run victory over Tripura, Mayank Agarwal's
01:23 plans to fly to Gujarat for next Ranji Trophy match have been rightfully disrupted due to
01:28 present health conditions.
01:31 He is set to be flown to Bengaluru for further treatment.
01:35 Plans are on the way to transport him back to Bengaluru after pending updates from the
01:40 doctors which is expected later tonight.
01:43 Mayank Agarwal with 21 test appearances for India faced a setback in 2022, losing its
01:50 spot in the team due to inconsistent performances.
01:54 Furthermore, he was released by the Punjab Kings franchisee in the previous season of
01:59 IPL only to be acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad where he had an indifferent season with 270
02:06 runs in 10 matches.
