Barbados vs India
1962-03-17
On 17 March 1962, Indian captain Nari Contractor was struck on the right temple by a short-pitched delivery from 23-year-old Charlie Griffith in a tour match between Barbados and India at Kensington Oval. The blow fractured Contractor's skull, sent him into a three-day coma and required emergency surgery to relieve pressure on the brain. He survived but never played another Test. He was 28.
