The scary moment unfolded when Shaun Roger and Mohammad Inan collided as the Thrissur Titans teammates were sprinting towards the ball while trying to complete a catch off a shot from a Calicut Globstars batsman during the final of the Kerala Cricket League 2026 in Thiruvananthapuram.
Inan’s knee hit Roger directly in the chest, leaving him unconscious on the field following the frightening collision at the Greenfield International Stadium. Following the collision, Roger lay flat on the ground and remained motionless.
Seeing his teammate in that condition, Inan became visibly worried and immediately signalled for help. Soon after, the medical team rushed in, and even CPR was performed after he did not respond on the field. He was immediately treated by the medical team and taken to hospital.
