The unfortunate incident took place at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium during the 30th over of Uttarakhand’s innings. Off-spinner Tanush Kotian was bowling when batsman Saurabh Rawat attempted a slog sweep. The shot reached the top edge and traveled towards the deep mid-wicket region, where Raghuvanshi sprinted to try and catch. Although his one-handed diving effort was impressive, it ended painfully when he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
During the fall, Raghuvanshi’s head hit the ground and he appeared to have injured his shoulder and neck as well. He initially crouched down, but soon collapsed again, clearly uncomfortable. Mumbai’s medical staff rushed onto the field as the youngster struggled to move his neck. As his condition worsened, a stretcher was called, and an ambulance eventually took him to SDMH Hospital in Jaipur.
According to reports Raghuvanshi was taken for precautionary scans, including a CT scan, and will remain under observation. There was a noticeable delay in arranging the stretcher and ambulance, during which he experienced discomfort.

Contributions from captain Shardul Thakur and Shams Mulani helped Mumbai post a total of 331/7. For Uttarakhand, Devendra Bora was the standout bowler with figures of 3/74.
