Sanju Samson’s six inadvertently struck a female fan, leaving her visibly distressed [WATCH]

Sanju Samson hit a six on the second delivery of the tenth over that went on to hit the face of a lady standing in the crowd. It was a slot-length delivery on the leg-stump line, to which Samson got underneath and whacked it over the deep midwicket region for a maximum.

However, as the ball reached into the spectators’ area, it hit the fence and re-bounced straight on a woman’s face. She wasn’t watching the ball, so she couldn’t do anything to save her, resulting in a serious blow.

The woman was in serious pain immediately and started crying, and her weeping face was visible a ball later. Someone from the crowd passed a packet of ice packs to rub on the injured part, and a person was seen applying it on her face, with tears coming out of her eyes.

It was really a serious blow, more so because it was sudden, and the batter hit the ball ferociously. Samson was concerned for her well-being, had a polite inquiry with his gestures immediately and was later seen apologising for an unwanted mistake.
