In a shocking twist, the IPL 2026 clash between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals held at Mullanpur had the ball obliterating an old fan in the stands after a Priyansh Arya six.

Aryan’s ball, struck off Nandre Burger in the early part of the game, went into the crowd and collided with the side of the fan's face, prompting profuse blood to run down his face and shirt.

Other fans immediately leaped to his aid, with one person being seen cleaning his wound and the victim sitting stunned. In the background of the viral video, a man can be seen smiling strangely, which has led to online criticism.

The aged fan received immediate medical attention at the stadium and was rushed to a hospital. The aggressive batsman Priyansh Arya resumed his innings, but the incident has led to debates on the safety of spectators at cricket grounds.
