Main point:
In the Lord’s Test, Rishabh Pant suffered an injury to the left hand finger. After the injury, he went out of the field and replaced him with the wicketkeeping responsibility. At present, snow is being applied on Pant’s finger and the situation is not serious.
Delhi: On the first day of Lord’s Test, India got a big shock when wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant got the ball. A ball from Jasprit Bumrah hit Pant’s left hand fingers when he was trying to catch the ball on the leg side. The bandage was already tied on his fingers and this injury made him more upset.
After this, Pant went out of the ground and replaced him with Dhruv Juril to take the responsibility of wicketkeeping. No official statement has come from Team India yet, but according to reports it was a careful step so that the physio could check the position of the player well.
According to the latest information received from the dressing room, Pant is resting by placing ice on his finger and there is no big deal right now. It is expected that he will return to the ground soon.
What will happen if Pant could not play in further Tests?
If Rishabh Pant is not able to play further in this Test match, then India cannot feed any other player in his place completely. In Test cricket, except for conversion (head injury), it is not included in the rules to give “full substitute”. India may be allowed to take off such players who cannot bowl and captain, but can do wicketkeeping, that too after the approval of the umpire.
Earlier, England won the toss and decided to bowl first. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep bowled a lot. But Nitish Kumar Reddy gave India the first success. He dismissed both England openers Zack Croly and Ben Docket in a single over. After this, Joe Root 99 and Ben Stokes are batting.
