Smriti Mandhana was forced to retire hurt after being hit on the head by a Shabnim Ismail bouncer during India’s warm-up fixture against South Africa. Smirit Mandhana hurt herself but was stable.
Due to a “minor soft tissue damage” to her left earlobe, Star India opener Smriti Mandhana was deemed “stable” but under surveillance today.
Smirit Mandhana hurt led her to quit hurt after receiving a punch to the head during India’s first women’s World Cup warm-up match against South Africa, which India won by two runs here on Sunday.
A Shabnim Ismail bouncer struck the batsman.
According to an ICC report, the 25-year-old was evaluated by the team doctor after the incident and was initially certified fit to continue, only to retire hurt after another examination an hour later. The report went on to say that the left-hander had no concussion symptoms at the time and had no delayed consequences, according to the medical professionals.
However, BCCI secretary Jay Shah issued a fresh update on Mandhana’s current status. “Smriti Mandhana sustained a blow to her left ear and lower temple while batting in the warm-up game against South Africa in Rangiora. Smriti was immediately assessed by the matchday doctor who expected a delayed concussion,” Shah stated. —
