A controversy involving Kolkata Knight Riders took place through their X platform when posting the photo with the caption "whats the best catch taken ever by a KKR player" while the IPL 2026 match was going on between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings. At that time, a Delhi Capitals pacer, Lungi Ngidi, received a very serious head injury in the match field.
The post got immediate responses from X users calling it “tone-deaf” and “insensitive.” It is because at that time when Delhi Capitals pacer received the serious head injury, an ambulance was called to go to the field. In fact, at the time of catching the ball, Ngidi fell down headfirst in the field.
Consequently, as the controversy emerged immediately, Kolkata Knight Riders had to remove the post soon after posting it. Moreover, in the next few minutes, they posted another message expressing good wishes for Ngidi, asking him to get well soon.
Here's the post:
The criticism was also directed toward KKR's own poor form in the IPL 2026 tournament. They have started their season quite badly, winning only one match out of the first six played, which has made them rank among the bottom teams on the leaderboard. Their fans suggested they should “concentrate on improving their own game rather than criticizing the others.”

Ngidi Stable; Concussion substitute in
In the match, Ngidi's fall led to an critical situation during the game. He was taken off by the stretcher in an ambulance, resulting in 15 minutes of delay in the play. The fall led to him lying down silently, which has left the entire stadium stunned.
It has been reported that Ngidi is now stabilized and is expected to be released shortly. He had reported a headache along with neck pains after his fall, but he is now responding to treatment well.
For the rest of the game, Vipraj Nigam was used as a concussion substitute for Ngidi. This shows the quick medical attention that was given to Ngidi when he had the problem.
It has been seen time and again that sensitivity needs to be exercised in such circumstances. Even though the team of Kolkata Knight Riders managed to correct themselves, there was much talk about the same.
