Gujarat Titans fast bowler Arshad Khan slipped twice on his bowling mark during their match against Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday, May 22, at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
The first incident occurred in the second over of the match, when Arshad was handed the new ball to bowl at LSG openers Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh. On the very first delivery of his over, Arshad slipped after failing to land his back foot properly in his delivery stride. The slip caused him to fall on his left knee and then onto his left shoulder. Despite the fall, Arshad got back up and returned to complete his over.

The second slip came on the fifth ball of the same over. This time, Arshad again lost his footing on his bowling mark, and his shoulder took the heavier impact. On both occasions, the Gujarat Titans physio rushed out to the field to assess the fast bowler.
Following Arshad’s falls, the ground staff came out and applied a generous amount of sawdust to the landing area. There were no further issues reported with the pitch after that.
