BAD SIGNS FOR TEAM INDIA - Rishabh Pant goes retired…
Sri Lanka fast bowler Lahiru Kumara struck India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant on the wrist during the 58th over of an ongoing Test match. Pant, attempting to play a pull shot, was hit while on the field and received immediate medical attention. Despite the initial treatment, Pant was eventually forced to retire hurt, walking back to the dugout after a delay.
The extent of the injury was not immediately clear, with a BCCI update expected upon further assessment. The incident, which occurred in the 58th over of the Indian innings, posed a significant concern for the team. Rishabh Pant, known for his half-century in the previous Test, is the team's first-choice wicketkeeper. However, Dhruv Jurel, another capable wicketkeeper, is available to replace him in the team.
