The IPL 2022 mega auction has been halted due to a medical emergency that occurred inside the main hall where the bidding was taking . IPL auctioneer Hugh Edmeades fainted while making calls for Sri Lanka all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, who was going under the hammer at the time.
The auction went off air as soon as Edmeades fell flat on the ground, leaving everyone present at the hall in shock.
According to reports, Edmeades is fine and the IPL auction will resume soon after lunch. The live feed from Bengaluru was immediately stopped after Edmeades shockingly collapsed from the stage and early lunch was taken.
According to Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the IPL, the auction will resume after lunch and Edmeades will continue with the proceedings.
