On a busy Saturday afternoon at Arun Jaitley Stadium, ACP Sanjay Singh sprang into action when Delhi Capitals pacer Lungi Ngidi collapsed on the field during a match against the Punjab Kings.
Singh, who serves as ACP Traffic (Central District), was overseeing vehicular arrangements at the venue on April 25. He immediately got on the phone and began coordinating a green corridor to rush Ngidi to BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in Rajinder Nagar.
Ngidi, 30, is now stable and has been discharged from the hospital. Singh credits Central Zone DCP Nishant Gupta for his faith, and the recent briefings during the AI summit for helping him make the quick plan.
Singh, a former cricketer who played for Delhi Police for 12 years, recalled the early dedication of Virat Kohli. "There was a match washed out by rain; Feroz Shah Kotla was full of water and we were all having chai-pakora. But Kohli was practicing alone in a corridor. Humne bola use ki aaja chai pee le, par woh khelta raha ghanto tak. You could see his dedication even then."
