The cricketer was admitted to a private hospital in Agartala on Tuesday after experiencing unease and vomiting. His condition is reported to be "clinically stable, and he is being constantly clinically monitored." Mayank consumed liquid from a bottle, believing it to be drinking water, during a flight, leading to the health complications.
The hospital released a statement detailing the situation: "This evening, cricketer Mayank Agarwal was transported from the MBB Airport Agartala to ILS Hospitals Agartala. He was experiencing some oral irritation and swelling on his lips. After being assessed by the consultants of the hospital in emergency, he was admitted. For now, he's clinically stable and is being constantly clinically monitored."
Mayank Agarwal, a vital player for Karnataka in domestic cricket, has showcased impressive form in the ongoing Ranji Trophy with two centuries and a half-century. Karnataka holds the second position in Group C, securing two wins, a draw, and a defeat in four matches.
IndiGo, the airline in question, confirmed the medical emergency in a statement, explaining that the flight had to return to Agartala. Meanwhile, Vice-captain Nikin Jose is expected to assume the captaincy role in Mayank's absence.
