A wayward throw from Manpreet Gony during the India Legends vs Sri Lanka Legends final in the Road Safety World Series on Sunday hit Sri Lankan batsman Chinthaka Jayasinghe in the 17th over of the chase. There was a lengthy delay as the batsman required medical attention. The Indian players milled around the batsman in concern and Gony was the first to apologize for the throw.

The incident happened in the 17th over of the Sri Lankan innings, as they attempted to chase down the target of 182 set by the India Legends. Gony bowled a full delivery which Jayasinghe could only hit straight back to him, thus bowling a dot ball off a Free Hit delivery. In his follow through, Gony picked the ball up and threw straight at the batsman, hitting his elbow.
