IPL2022: Cameraman Hit By Ball During Tilak Varma’s Big Six Off the bowling of Riyan Parag.
Mumbai Indians may have suffered their second consecutive defeat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season when Rajasthan Royals defeated them by 23 runs on Saturday, but they found a bright spot in the form of 19-year-old Tilak Varma. The left-handed batter hit a fine half-century for MI in their 194-run chase. He not only steadied the ship for them, but also scored quickly to keep his team in the hunt, hitting three boundaries and five sixes in his knock.
One of those sixes proved costly, not for the Rajasthan Royals, but for a cameraman on the sidelines.
Varma took on Riyan Parag with a big hit over long-off in the 12th over of MI’s chase, but the ball hit the cameraman on the head.
