Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who had every chance of getting back into the playing eleven in the ODIs, has suffered a serious injury as he was seen limping after being hit by the ball during the net session ahead of the first match in Vadodara.
India will play its first match of 2026 against New Zealand at home. The series consists of three ODIs, and the first game begins tomorrow, January 11, at the Vadodara Cricket Ground.

Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has been affected by injuries to a great extent in his career. This horrific car accident could prove to be a major turning point in his life as well as his career.
Pant then started his career as an ODI star and hit a roadblock. Now, after a promising domestic season, Pant is in talks to make a comeback in ODIs.
When Rishabh Pant was batting in Vadodara, once again a ball hit his feet and he had to leave the field in pain and disappointment. Pant recently came back after a long process where he had to undergo rehabilitation after fracturing his leg during the England Test series match in Manchester.
