Pant suffered a leg injury on the fourth test day between India and England in Manchester. He was injured during the 68th over and was forced to get hurt after scoring 37 off 48 balls with two fours and a six.
On the fourth ball of the 68th over, Chris Woakes bowled a full and low ball for Rishabh Pants, which went to a prefabricated reverse sweep and was hit on the boot.
There was a major appeal for LBW, but the umpire did not give it out, and Gaya for England Review, Ultra-Edge showed that the pants reduced delivery on their right boot.
Star wicketkeeper-batsmen were in great pain after being a hit and attracted the attention of medicine on the ground. Some blood was swollen on his right leg with blood, and he was seen screaming in pain. Since Rishabh Pant was unable to stand properly, a small car was brought in the middle to take him away.
India asked the medical team if Rishabh Pant could bat after taking painkillers.
Rishabh Pant’s injury has been worse than expected, as he has allegedly fractured his toe and has been advised to have six weeks of rest.
In his absence, a batsman would be small in India, and Gautam Gambhir -led team asked the medical team to check whether Rishabh Pant could bat after taking painkillers when needed.
However, the medical team stopped the Indian team management question and did not clean the wicketkeeper-batsman to travel on the ground to play on day 2.
Meanwhile, Ishaan Kishan has been approached by Ajit Agkar -led Selection Committee to join the squad for the fifth Test, and Dhruv Jurlel is likely to change pants in pants at the playing XI at Oval.
Legendary Australia National Cricket Team captain and big supporters of pants, Ricky Ponting, were worried about swelling on the leg of pants.
Ponting said on Sky Sports, “He (pants) rarely put his foot on the ground. Immediate swelling was a matter of concern for me. I myself had a metatarsal injury, and they are small, delicate bones. The fact that he cannot put any weight on it, it doesn’t feel good at all,” Potting said on Sky Sports.
Former England national cricket team captain Michael Attarton also looked worried and gave a major blow to India’s injury to India.
“If he is out of the game … if he is out of the series, it is a big shock for India and puts the day in a separate light. That 264 for four becomes 264 for five, and due to that new ball, tomorrow India has the ability to knock India, but if he can come back to bat, he is not an uncertainty.
