Kuldeep Yadav had to walk off the field after suffering an injury during the game between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday (April 16).
The incident took place in the 17th over of the Rajasthan Royals innings when Mohit Sharma was bowling to Nitish Rana. On the final ball of the over, the fast-bowler bowled a slower ball outside the off stump, and Rana decided to scoop the ball.
Kuldeep injured him while fielding
Kuldeep Yadav was standing at short fine leg, and as soon as Rana played the shot, he ran and put in a dive but ended up pushing the ball onto the boundary ropes. And in doing so, Kuldeep Yadav also ended up hurting himself.

He fell awkwardly on his left shoulder and was seen holding it and grimacing. The physio came out immediately, and Kuldeep eventually decided to walk off the field. Delhi Capitals will be hoping that the injury is not serious and the spinner remains available for the remainder of the season.
