IPL 2023: Fans were left shocked after spotting a cheerleader dancing despite sporting an arm sling during defending champions Gujarat Titans (Gt) match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday.

The pictures of the cheerleader have gone viral. While some fans wished for her speedy recovery, others slammed the BCCI and the IPL for "forcing" her to dance despite her condition.

However, it remains unclear if the SRH cheerleader was really forced to perform with her right arm in a sling or it was her sheer dedication. The issues with her hand and shoulder are also unclear. For the same reason, there were mixed reactions to the pictures.

In the match, GT defeated SRH by 34 runs to become the first team to qualify for the IPL 2023 play-offs. The match witnessed Shubman Gill score a hundred for Gujarat and Bhuvneshwar Kumar pick a five-wicket haul for Hyderabad.
