Agaratala’s ILS Hospital has released an official statement on Mayank Agarwal’s health, hours after the cricketer was admitted to the facility’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Agarwal was rushed to a local hospital after falling ill just before his New Delhi-bound flight was about to take off on Tuesday.
As stated by the hospital, Agarwal is ‘clinically stable’ and is constantly being monitored.
“This evening, Mr Mayank Agarwal was transported from the MBB Aiport Agartala to ILS Hospital Agartala. He was experiencing some oral irritation and swelling on his lips. After being assessed by the consultants of the hospital in an emergency, he was admitted.
“For now, he’s clinically stable and is being clinically monitored,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, IndiGo airlines has also also issued a statement which didn’t elaborate on the reason for a medical emergency.
“IndiGo flight 6E 5177 operating from Agartala to Delhi returned to origin due to a medical emergency onboard. The passenger was off-loaded and was rushed to the hospital for further medical assistance. The aircraft took off again for its destination at 1620h,” the airline said in its press release.
News agency PTI has quoted an official from the Karnataka Cricket Association (KSCA) stating that the cricketer is out of any kind of danger.
“He (Agarwal) is not in any kind of danger. He is under observation currently in a hospital at Agartala, and we will fly him back to Bengaluru once we get an update from the doctors, which we are expecting tonight,” the official was quoted as saying.
However, Agarwal will not play the next Ranji Trophy game against Railways in Surat.
“He will not be playing in Karnataka’s next match (against Railways at Surat from February 2). But other than that, there is no truth in any rumours going around. He is stable now, and we are in touch with doctors and other state officials,” the official added.
Nikin Jose is expected to take over the team’s captaincy in the next match as he is the designated vice-captain.
