India’s injury woes continue with Rishabh Pant suffering a nasty blow to his right foot during the ongoing ENG vs IND 4th Test at Manchester. Pant, who had already injured his index finger in the previous match at Lord’s which kept him from wicketkeeping in the game, had to be escorted by an ambulance off the field at Manchester today.

The incident happened on the fourth ball of the 68th over by Chris Woakes. Pant tried a reverse sweep but the ball struck him straight on the foot. While England decided to challenge the umpire’s not-out decision, replays showed there was an inside edge. However, Pant although got the reprieve, he looked to be struggling badly before the phyios came in. After inspecting the wound, an ambulance cabby was brought into the field to escort Pant out as he was hobbling badly and couldn’t walk properly. Replays showed a bad swell with blood coming out of the foot.
The wicketkeeper-batter had to retire hurt on 37 as Ravindra Jadeja walked into the middle. The dynamic left-hander was looking in good touch and also entered the recordbooks during his knock as the first wicketkeeper to score 1000-plus runs in away Tests.
Watch the video of the incident below.
It remains to be seen if Rishabh Pant returns to bat tomorrow or not.

Pant’s latest injury adds to a growing list of concerns for India. All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has already been ruled out of the series due to a knee injury he suffered at the gym. Pacer Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep too are inflicted. Arshsdeep hurt his bowling arm in the build up to the Manchester Test while Akash Deep is suffering from a groin issue.

With Shubman Gill and Co currently trailing the five-match series 1-2, they will need to eke out a win at Manchester to keep their hopes of a series win alive.
India openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (58) and KL Rahul (46) gave a steady start with the bat. Sai Sudharsan, who made a return to the playing XI after being dropped from the side following a disappointing show in the series opener, repaid the faith of the selectors by slamming his maiden Test fifty (61). At the time of writing this report, the Men in Blue are close to reaching the 250-run mark and has six wickets in hand.
