The incident occurred during Day 2 of the Duleep Trophy 2022 knockout clash between Central Zone and West Zone in Coimbatore. The Central Zone batter was taken to hospital for customary scans and was later discharged. Speaking to Cricbuzz from Coimbatore, the Team India all-rounder said: "I was hit below my ear. It was a shock initially but I am absolutely fine.” Asked if he would be able to bat in the second innings, he explained: "I don't know, I have been kept under 24-hour observation. I will have to see how things go.” During the post-lunch session of play on Day 2 of the Duleep Trophy 2022 encounter, Iyer hit the ball back towards the bowler, Gaja. The latter picked up the ball and attempted to throw it at the stumps. However, he ended up hitting the batter on the neck.

After retiring hurt, he returned to the crease. The left-hander, however, was dismissed for 14 off nine balls. An official from the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA), who was on the ground when the incident took place, told Cricbuzz: "He is fine and back in the team hotel. I have spoken to him and he looks quite ok now. It was a relief that there was no concussion. He did not feel dizzy and he looked fine. But he went off the field and the doctors on duty attended to him. He came back to bat again. “After he got out, he was taken to the Kauvery Hospital in the city and all things appeared normal. He has sounded fine." Central Zone were bundled out for 128 in their first innings in 40.1 overs in response to West Zone’s 257.
