India's wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant posted a picture on Instagram showcasing his severely bruised shoulder following the second Test against Sri Lanka. The image, captioned "A little souvenir," was accompanied by a message praising the team's efforts during the match. Pant highlighted the "bumps, the banter, the belief" and the team's perseverance in every run, wicket, and moment.
He acknowledged that while India would have preferred a 2-0 series win, Sri Lanka's batters demonstrated remarkable determination, forcing the Indian team to work hard. The post included additional images from the game, such as the team lifting the trophy and celebrating wickets, Pant soaking in the rain, and his injured shoulder.
Pant sustained the injury on the first day of the second Test when a short delivery from Sri Lankan pacer Lahiru Kumara struck him, forcing him to retire hurt. He returned to bat on Day 2 and scored 63 runs off 89 balls despite the injury. Pant's shoulder was reportedly "quite badly bruised" by bowling coach Morne Morkel, who noted that he had limited movement.
A video also surfaced on social media, showing Pant engaging in playful banter with a fan as he held his injured shoulder amid the rain.
