IPL 2018: Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan suffers nasty eye injury

Cricketainment of Indian Premier League is fun to look at but it also saw a brutal side to it when a throw by Hardik Pandya landed on the face of Mumbai Indian's wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan.

The 19-year-old left-handed batsman and wicketkeeper plays for Jharkhand in domestic cricket and in IPL 11 auctions was picked by Mumbai Indian.

In the face-off against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday, Bumrah bowled to Virat Kohli in the 12th over and the RCB captain pulled it uppishly to sneak a single.

Hardik Pandya picked up the ball and threw it towards Ishan when Sarfaraz Khan was running towards the wicket.

Ishan wasn't wearing a helmet at the time and that ball hit him directly on the right eye. Serious pain caused by the hit had Ishan reeling in the field.

A physio was called to take look at his swollen right eye. The crowd at Wankhede cheered the young cricketer as he walked off on his feet.
