4th Test: Despite Foot Fracture, Pant Still Wishes To Come Out To Bat At Old Trafford, Reveal Sources
Rishabh Pant: Despite sustaining a fracture in his right foot during the opening day of the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford, India’s vice-captain Rishabh Pant has reportedly wished to come out to bat — a move that has surprised even those close to him in the team setup.
On the fourth ball of the 68th over, Pant attempted a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes. Instead of making clean contact, he under-edged the ball onto his right foot. While England unsuccessfully reviewed the on-field not-out decision for lbw, it was clear Pant was in considerable pain as India’s physiotherapist Kamlesh Jain rushed to attend to him.
The injury appeared serious almost immediately, as the top of Pant’s foot began to swell and took the shape of a table tennis ball, with a small amount of bleeding also visible on the broadcast visuals. Unable to put weight on the injured foot, Pant had to be taken off the field via an ambulance buggy, as he retired hurt on an entertaining 37 off 48 deliveries.
