West Indies all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall had a narrow escape during the National Cricket T10 League 2025 eliminator between Atlanta Kings CC and Los Angeles Waves CC at the University of Texas, Dallas, on Sunday. The incident occurred when Waves bowler Rumman Raees sent down a sharp bouncer that smashed into Cornwall’s helmet grill. The impact was so fierce that the ball got stuck between the bars of the helmet, getting stuck dangerously close to his eye. For a brief moment, play stopped as players rushed in to check on Cornwall. The opposition wicketkeeper could be seen frantically signalling for medical assistance thinking the worst had happened. Thankfully, the helmet held strong and prevented what could have been a serious injury. Watch Cornwall's narrow escape here
