Summary
- A fan was injured by a six during a Punjab Kings IPL match.
- The fan received stitches and was invited to a Zoom call.

During an IPL 2026 match in Mullanpur, a spectator named Krishan Chand sustained an injury after being hit by a six in the stands. The ball struck Chand’s face, causing bleeding and pain, necessitating hospital treatment where he received stitches near his eyebrow.
In response, the Punjab Kings franchise reached out to Krishan Chand and his family. He and his son participated in a Zoom call with player Priyansh Arya and Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta. Both Arya and Zinta conveyed their concern over the incident.
Chand reassured them he was recovering well. Arya extended a personal invitation for Chand to attend an upcoming match in Dharamsala. Zinta officially extended this invitation, humorously suggesting the franchise would provide a helmet for safety during future games.
This gesture highlights the Punjab Kings' commitment to their supporters, adding to their positive reputation during the IPL 2026 season. The team is set to play its remaining home games in Dharamsala, where Krishan Chand is expected to return as a special guest.
