In the Manchester Test, Rishabh Pant came out to bat with a broken leg. He scored a half century with painkiller. While fans and journalists were saluting their bravery, some former cricketers criticized. This incident started debating on the subsidy rule in cricket.
Delhi: In the ongoing fourth Test match between India and England in Manchester, a moment was seen, which cricket fans will not forget for a long time. When Team India’s wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant landed on the field to bat with a broken leg, everyone was seen saluting his bravery.
Pant took painkiller and injections to reduce the pain and then hit the ground and hit a half -century in difficult conditions. At that time, India was finding it very difficult to score runs. These moments were reminiscent of Anil Kumble 23 years ago, when he bowled with a broken jaw.
When Shardul Thakur was out during the match and the news of Pant landing in the field came, journalists and broadcasters sitting in the old traffic press box stood up in applause. Everyone wanted to see if Pant is really coming to bat. When it was decided that yes, Pant is coming to the field, the atmosphere there was filled with enthusiasm.
But, not everyone was happy with this. Some former cricketers sitting in ‘Legends Lounge’, made a short distance from the press box, did not like Pant’s landing in this way.
David Lloyd spoke on Pant’s injury
Former England cricketer David Lloyd said in a conversation with Talk Sport, “I have suffered a broken finger, hand and cheek bone in my career. But on some occasions I could not play. But, looking at Pant, it seemed that he was feeling in a lot of pain. However, it was bravery that he got down. But, many people sitting in the launge were saying that he was saying that he was shown more. Was.”
One such case was also taken in the 2023 Ashes with Australian bowler Nathan Lion. When he came to bat on one leg in Lord’s, he was also afraid that he should not be out.
At the moment, Dhruv Jurael is taking wicketkeeping after Pant’s injury, but he cannot bat as the substitute player can only field as per the rules, until he is a head injury.
Lloyd said, “I am against the runner, but if a player has an external injury and cannot play for 6 weeks, then the same player should come down instead. Yes, it is important that if there is a batsman then only batsmen come in return, not bowlers.”
Now it will be seen whether there is any change in the rules of cricket after this debate, but Pant’s bravery will definitely be discussed for years.
