Ishan Kishan replaced by Vishnu Vinod after concussion

Mumbai Indians chose Vishnu Vinod as a concussion substitution for Ishan Kishan in Qualifier 2 against CSK in IPL 2023

Mumbai Indians opted for a concussion substitution when Ishan Kishan suffered a blow to his head during the match against Chennai Super Kings. Kishan was hit by a bouncer from Deepak Chahar, and while he seemed alright to continue, he was replaced by Vishnu Vinod as a precautionary measure.

Ishan Kishan’s injury

Ishan Kishan picked up a freak injury after colliding with teammate Chris Jordan in the first innings. He seemed to have recovered from the impact, but the blow from Chahar left him feeling dizzy, which prompted Mumbai to request a concussion substitution.

Green’s injury

Marcus Stoinis replaced Cameron Green in the Qualifier 2, who was hit on the arm by a ball from Hardik Pandya while batting. While Green seemed alright at the time and continued to bowl in the innings break, scans after the match showed a small fracture in his forearm. Green is now expected to miss the next few weeks of cricket.

Overall, it’s within the rules to make a concussion substitution for the safety of the player, and Mumbai took the right call to replace Kishan with Vinod. It remains to be seen whether any action will be taken against Chennai Super Kings for the blow that led to Kishan’s injury.
