Rishabh Pant showed incredible courage as he fought through severe pain to score a significant 74 for India on 3 on the ongoing third test of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England at the prestigious Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.
The left index finger of the Indian wicketkeeper-Batter, which was hitting a Jasprit Bumrah delivery on 1 day at Lord’s, was still hurting badly. Due to injury, Dhruv Jurlel was assigned wicketkeeping duty. Despite this, every time the pants played a shot using their lower hand, pain was visible on his face.

But just before the lunch break, a moment of misunderstanding ended the Indian vice-captain’s crease. Near his second Test Century at Lord’s with KL Rahul, he pushed pants for a risky single from the last ball of spinner Shoaib Bashir before lunch.
England captain Ben Stokes reacted quickly, picked up the ball cleanly on the cover, and fired into a straight throw at the end of the non-strayer. The pants were well less than their crease, as England ended a dangerous partnership of 141 runs for the fourth wicket at Lord’s.

KL Rahul said at the press conference after the end of the day at Lord’s: “Rishabh Pant was in a lot of pain. He was also killed on the glove during batting. He was in great pain.
