The IPL's mega-auction was left stunned after auctioneer Hugh Edmeades collapsed off the stage in terrifying scenes.
Millions of dollars had already been spent and one of the hottest bidding wars of the event was taking off as Sri Lankan Wanindu Hasaranga's price creeped to 10.75 crore ($2.1m).
As the teams were discussing their next bids as the money crept higher and higher, a commotion happened off camera as Edmeades collapsed, with the camera seeing him sprawled on the ground as the podium appeared to fall over.
The coverage cut as the IPL auction went to a pause.
It was later confirmed that Edmeades, who has performed the role since the 2018 auction, had fallen due to postural hypotension, but was stable thanks to help from the medics on hand.
