Gujarat Giants' Sayali Satghare made history in the ongoing Women's Premier League (WPL) on March 3 by becoming the first concussion sub in the tournament.

Satghare replaced Dayalan Hemalatha after the latter was hit on the head by a ball while attempting a catch against Delhi Capitals. The incident happened in the 15th over of Delhi's batting and Hemalatha didn't take further part in the game.

Capitals' Jess Jonassen had hit a ball with all muscle and Hemalatha had managed to catch the ball before it burst out her hand and hit her on the head. The player immediately sought the help of physio and went off the field after that. Satghare then was approved as the sub for Giants during their chase of 164.
