4th Test: These Are Moments You Remember 50 Years From Now, Says Manjrekar On Pant Batting With Injury
Former India: Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar praised vice-captain Rishabh Pant’s brave decision to walk out and bat despite a fractured right foot on day two of ongoing fourth Test against England, adding that this will be one of those moments which will be remembered by the cricketing world for 50 years.
On Thursday, Pant, who retired hurt on the opening day of the fourth Test due to a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, received a standing ovation as he hobbled out to the crease and went on to make a courageous 54 off 75 balls – his 18th fifty in the longer format.
“When we saw Rishabh Pant with Gautam Gambhir having a chat, he was in his whites — we thought maybe he might come out to bat at the end of the innings. Who would’ve thought he’d walk in after the fall of the very next wicket? He is injured, but don’t rule out this guy.”
