India, April 30 -- On a busy Saturday afternoon at Arun Jaitley Stadium, when Delhi Capitals pacer Lungi Ngidi collapsed while fielding during a match against the Punjab Kings, ACP Sanjay Singh sprung into action. This wasn't just a police officer responding; it was also the former cricketer in him. The officer, who serves as ACP Traffic (Central District), was overseeing vehicular arrangements at the venue on April 25. "The moment I heard that a player had been injured and an ambulance was on the pitch, I rushed. I saw the player with an oxygen mask inside the ambulance. The DC officials told me they had to take him to hospital. When I got to know he was hurt around his head and neck, I knew I had to act fast. Having played cricket for Delhi Police for 12 years, I knew how serious that kind of an injury could be. We all remember what happened to Raman Lamba (the cricketer died of a head injury after being hit by a cricket ball during a match in Dhaka in 1998). I had even played with him. Agar kucch ho jaata toh desh ka naam kharaab hota. Toh mujhe pata tha ki sab kucch bahut jaldi karna hoga." Singh immediately got on the phone and began coordinating a green corridor to rush the South African cricketer to BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in Rajinder Nagar. "It was 6:15pm and that's peak traffic hour. There were large crowds both inside and outside the stadium. The ambulance driver wanted to follow Google Maps, but I told him to follow my directions. I stayed in constant touch with traffic inspectors along the route, and we covered 8 km in just 11 minutes." Ngidi, 30, is now stable and has been discharged from the hospital. Singh, who has been serving in the Delhi Police for 32 years now, credits Nishant Gupta, DCP Traffic, Central Range, for his faith, and the recent briefings during the AI summit for helping him make the quick plan. "I'm grateful to all my seniors - Additional CP, Joint CP, Special CP - for their guidance. Today, everyone is proud of Delhi Police." Watching him methodically manage traffic outside the stadium, a few would guess that Singh once terrorised opponents on the pitch. But he did! He shares that he played alongside former cricketers including Gautam Gambhir, Virrender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, and Mohammad Kaif when they played DDCA league matches for teams like ONGC and Indian Airlines. He's also seen the making of cricketer Nitish Rana. "His uncle Anil Rana played cricket for Delhi Police. He was one of the best batsmen. Nitish used to practise at New Police Line Sports Ground with us. Today, he's playing cricket at the highest level because of his uncle."...
