India wicket keeper Rishabh Pant suffered another injury as he had to be helped off the field during the opening day of the 4th India vs England Test in Manchester on Thursday. The incident happened in the 68th over when Pant tried to reverse sweep a Chris Woakes delivery and was hit flush on his ankle. The player immediately went down and the physios came on the field to check on him.
His foot was swollen and the wicketkeeper-batter had to be taken off the field by a small vehicle as he couldn’t even walk out on his own accord. Ravindra Jadeja replaced him for the time being in the middle. Pant was batting on 37 when he went off retired hurt.
This injury was a fresh blow for a player who had hurt himself in the 3rd test at Manchester as well when he got rapped on his thumb. He had to go off the field there as well and took no part in wicketkeeping duties with Dhruv Jurel donning the gloves for the remainder of that match. Pant, however, batted in both innings.
