Shadab Khan, the captain of the Rawalpindi team, suffered an injury while fielding during the match against Sialkot in the ongoing National T20 Cup in Pakistan. Following the ankle twist, a teammate of Shadab Khan carried him off the field on his back.

The medical examination of Shadab indicates that his injury is not deemed serious. It is worth mentioning that the spin-bowling all-rounder was carried off the field by his teammate on his back due to the unavailability of a stretcher, which drew attention from fans on social media platforms.
