Wadhera opened the innings as a replacement for regular opener Ishan Kishan who could not bat in the match due to a concussion he suffered after colliding with his teammate Chris Jordan.
The incident took place in the 16th over of MI’s bowling when Ishan Kishan collided with Jordan and got hit in his left eye by the bowler’s elbow. After receiving medical attention, the wicketkeeper-batter walked off the pitch.
Ishan Kishan was substituted in the playing XI by Vishnu Vinod who became the first concussion substitute in IPL history.
The concussion substitute rule was introduced in the IPL in the 2020 edition.
“We did not expect that, he had a bit of a concussion, I don’t know how it happened,” Rohit said about Ishan’s concussion after the match.
