'Bravery Is One Thing, But The Team Must Take Care Of Pant': Surinder Khanna

By IANS News July 25, 2025 • 12:48 PM View: 303

Surinder Khanna: Amid the praise of bravery and courage for Rishabh Pant's act to come out to bat again after severely hurting his right foot, former India cricketer Surinder Khanna had a distinct view and felt the team should have guided the wicketkeeper-batter to take care of himself after a severe injury.

Pant, who was retired hurt on 37 after being hit on the right toe by Chris Woakes in the final session of the opening day, came out to bat again despite the reports of a fracture on his right foot.

When Pant walked out to bat again at Old Trafford on Thursday, the crowd gave him a rousing welcome and former cricketers also hailed his courageous act of putting his body on the line for the team.
