Another blow to Team India in Bengaluru, Rishabh Pant suddenly returned from the field.
Rishabh Pant Injury: Today seems to be a bad day for Team India in Bengaluru. First, Team India made its lowest score in India and after this, when the New Zealand team came to bat in reply, they batted so brilliantly that it felt as if the pitch had suddenly changed. Even this was fine, but before the end of the day’s play, Team India’s star player and wicket keeper Rishabh Pant suddenly had to leave the field and return. This is no less than an alarm bell for the Indian team.
Rishabh Pant suffered knee injury, left the field and returned
This accident with Rishabh Pant happened on the last ball of the 37th over of New Zealand’s innings. Ravindra Jadeja was bowling, New Zealand’s Dwan Conway was in front. Jadeja hit this ball near Conway’s footmark and the ball suddenly spun rapidly. Conway tried to play the drive, but missed it. The ball came close to the off stump and hit the side of wicket keeper Rishabh Pant’s knee. As soon as the ball hit, Pant fell on the ground and started moaning loudly. The match was stopped and the Indian team physio came running to the field to see Pant. The physio tried hard, but he failed. Pant was not even able to stand properly.
Dhruv Jurel came to the field in place of Rishabh Pant
After this, on the advice of the physio, Rishabh Pant also removed his foot pad, which is worn by the wicketkeeper. When it seemed that Pant’s pain was not getting better and there could be further problems, immediately the second wicket keeper Dhruv Jurel was asked to come inside. Jurel came running fast on the field wearing his pads. Meanwhile, the support staff of Team India left the field carrying Pant on their shoulders. The big and stressful thing is that this is the same right knee of Rishabh Pant, which was injured during the accident.
Rishabh Pant’s fitness is very important for Team India
Meanwhile, it should be hoped that today’s game is over now, but by the time the match starts the next day i.e. on Friday, Rishabh Pant should recover and take up his responsibilities again. This is because this is only the first match of the series, whereas Team India is lagging far behind in it. It is very important for India to win the three-match series. After this, at the end of next month, Team India also has to go to Australia, where a five-Test series will be played. Anyway, Rishabh Pant is returning after a long time. In such a situation, it is very important for Team India to remain fit.
