The encounter between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday night witnessed a powerful six from Suryakumar Yadav resulted in an unfortunate incident where a ball girl was hit on the chest at the boundary.

The incident occurred in the fifth over of MI's chase, with Avesh Khan bowling to Suryakumar, who had just two runs off his first six balls. On the final delivery of the over, Avesh bowled a back-of-length ball outside off, and walked across the crease before smashing the ball over deep square leg for a six. Unfortunately, the ball hit a girl positioned near the boundary rope as she attempted to catch it. However, the girl seemed fine and handed the ball back to the LSG fielder.
