Tamil Nadu batter Baba Indrajith suffered a freak injury during the Vijay Hazare Trophy semifinal on Wednesday, December 13 against Haryana at the SCA Stadium in Rajkot. He batted with a taped mouth during the match. Despite his valiant effort, Tamil Nadu fell short of the target and has been knocked out of the tournament.

Baba Indrajith suffered an injury during the inning break when he cut his lip after slipping in the bathroom. He had to tape his lips while coming out to bat. However, he did not look very comfortable and called up the physio a few deliveries later. The batter took guard again after physio intervention. He played a fine knock of 64 runs from 71 deliveries. However, Tamil Nadu lost the game by 63 runs.
Following the game, Dinesh Karthik revealed that Indrajith hurt himself during the innings break, and had a deep cut on the upper lip. The right-handed batter was taken to the hospital after the game and received stitches.

Baba Indrajith shares a message thanking fans for their wishes

Baba Indrajith took to Instagram to share a message with the fans, thanking them for their concern and wishes. He revealed that he fell “very badly”, and had a deep cut which was bleeding. The batter assured that he will be back soon.

“Thank you all for your concern and wishes. Slipped and fell very badly when I stepped out of the ice bath mid-inning. Fell face-on in the bathroom and was shaken up quite a bit. Was bleeding with a deep cut on the upper lip and the inside of the lip. Managed to bat somehow but was gutted to not cross the finish line for the team. Just went to the hospital and got my stitches done. Should be back soon. Thank you once again,” wrote Baba Indrajith on Instagram.
