The left-arm pacer was visibly distressed, throwing his bat away and crouching on the field while receiving treatment from the physio. Despite being treated, Arshdeep initially attempted to continue playing, but Shreyas Iyer intervened, urging him to retire hurt and end India's innings. This decision marked the end of Arshdeep's innings, as he was the final batter. The incident occurred when Joseph bowled a short-pitched delivery that struck Arshdeep, causing him discomfort.
