A nail-biting moment unfolded after the lunch break on Day 3 as the Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah fired a lightning-fast bouncer at Alick Athanaze, and the ball smashed straight into the West Indies batter’s helmet in the ongoing first Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Alick Athanaze had thought the ball would go down the leg side, but he misjudged the speed, as it came straight at his head. He tried to duck, but there was no time to move out of the way. Luckily, the fierce delivery struck the side of his helmet but was enough to scare the players on the field.

The physio rushed onto the field to check for a concussion, but thankfully, Athanaze was cleared to continue playing. Bumrah also checked whether the West Indies star was okay before the game resumed at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
