Suresh Raina's fiery innings entertained the crowd to the fullest at M Chinnaswamy Stadium during third Twenty20 international against England on Wednesday (Feb 1).
The Gujarat Lions' captain was at his menacing best in Bengaluru as he
plundered England bowlers and smashed five massive sixes in his innings.
One such shot by Raina found an unlucky target as it hit a six-year-old boy, sitting in the stands at the venue.
Luckily, the boy wasn't injured badly as he returned to watch the
remainder of the match after being treated at the medical centre at the
stadium.
"Satish was injured after one of Raina's sixes landed on
his left thigh. He was rushed to the Karnataka State Cricket
Association's medical centre at the stadium for treatment," Dr Mathew
Chandy told PTI.
"He complained of minor pain. We gave him the
first aid and after 10 minutes, he requested to be relieved to watch the
rest of the match. We had to give in his demand," the doctor said.
The
doctor said it could have been fatal had the ball hit him on the head
or neck "because a six-year-old is not that strong to sustain such an
injury".
Raina's 45-ball 63 helped the hosts set the tone for the
massive total against the visitors, who lost the match by whopping 75
runs.
