India’s Manchester campaign hit another roadblock as Sai Sudharsan confirmed that Rishabh Pant was taken to hospital for scans after suffering a foot injury during the fourth Test. The vice-captain, who had looked fluent during his stay at the crease, was retired hurt after being struck on the right foot by a Chris Woakes delivery.
Pant, in his usual manner, tried an audacious reverse scoop shot against the fast bowler. However, he only managed to get a slight inside edge off the bat and the ball hit straight on his right foot. Instantly, Pant hobbled. While he survived a genuine LBW scare, it cost him his stay at the crease. He couldn’t walk and was eventually carried out of the ground via stretcher.
Sudharsan: “He’s in a lot of pain”
Speaking after the close of play, debutant Sai Sudharsan revealed the seriousness of Pant’s condition. Sudharsan was at the other end when Pant’s injury occurred.
