A concerning moment unfolded during Match 64 of IPL 2025 between Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants at the Narendra Modi Stadium when LSG pacer Arshad Khan slipped not once, but twice during the same over. The incident occurred while bowling the second over of the innings, creating a tense few minutes on the field.

The first slip happened just as Arshad began his run-up. Mitchell Marsh, who was at the non-striker’s end, rushed to check on the bowler, showcasing a brilliant act of sportsmanship. Moments later, the physio arrived to assess the situation, and Arshad initially appeared unlikely to continue the over.

However, Arshad returned to bowl, but slipped again within the same over, prompting the physio to rush out a second time. The commentators noted the seriousness of the moment, saying, “Oh dear! Arshad Khan has slipped for a second time this over. Physio out to have a look again.”

At that point, Lucknow Super Giants were 21/0 in 1.4 overs, with Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh at the crease. Despite the early setback, Arshad stayed on his feet, but questions now linger over his fitness and whether he’ll be able to complete his spell.

The incident sparked reactions online, with many praising Marsh’s quick and selfless response, calling it a “reminder of the true spirit of the game.”
