Performing an inside-edged reverse sweep onto his right foot, Rishabh Pant retires injured.

On the opening day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Rishabh Pant suffered a serious foot injury that forced him to withdraw injured and get scans, leaving India hoping for a miracle.

Rishabh Pant inside-edged an attempted reverse sweep off Chris Woakes onto his right (front) foot, causing his foot to swell and giving him a pained appearance. His immediate swelling and incapacity to bear any weight on the foot were concerning signs for India, but he survived the LBW shout and the review that followed.

India's vice-captain and wicketkeeper, Pant, needs a golf-style cart to help him leave the field after receiving on-field medical care. Captain Shubman Gill visited him at the ground medical center after he was transferred there, and he later had scans at a hospital.

Although England spinner Liam Dawson expressed his best wishes for Pant, he "can't see him playing much more part in this game." The pain his partner was in was explained by B. Sai Sudharsan, who was the non-striker at the time.

Sai Sudharsan remarked, "Oh, he was in a lot of pain, definitely." However, they went for scans. Overnight, we shall learn [more].



If the injury proved to be significant (maybe a fracture), Sai Sudharsan was asked how much of a loss that would be. "Obviously, he was batting really well," Sai Sudharsan stated. "A hitter who does not return will be missed. It will therefore undoubtedly have repercussions. But we will try to give it our all and bat for a long time so that we can effectively handle that loss with the batters we currently have batting and a few more all-rounders inside."

A straight sweep for four off Jofra Archer and a failed reverse sweep off the following ball were two of Rishabh Pant's trademark crazy strokes in his mostly restrained innings of 37 off 48 balls.

After being hit on the left index finger during England's opening innings at Lord's, this is his second injury in as many Test matches. For the remainder of that Test match, Dhruv Jurel filled in as India's wicketkeeper. Pant was allowed to play in Manchester despite experiencing discomfort when batting.

Australian Star Statement on the Finals of the ODI World Cup 2023

Image
The batman of the Australian cricket team, Marnus Labuschagne, said he had “never seen” someone bowl like the way Pat Cummins did during the finals of the World Cup against India, which they won by six wickets for a record-extending sixth title. Cummins had the best economy rate in the 10 overs he had bowled and also grabbed two wickets to restrict Rohit Sharma’s side to 240. With an economy rate of 3.40 to go with the wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, Cummins put the skids on India. Labuschagne said, “I think that was certainly Pat’s best day with the ball.” Labuschagne, who scored an unbeaten half-century in the final, said, “I think I’ve never seen someone bowl the sequence Cummins did, bowling the right balls at the right time that he did. I haven’t seen that from a middle-overs bowler or a pace bowler, especially in a long time. A lot of credit has to go to him.” Labuschagne also praised the tactical acumen of coach Andrew McDonald, saying he and the team analyst prepared t...

Aakash Chopra, a former cricketer for India, has raised doubts about the commitment and mindset of Australia in their ongoing T20I series against India. Aakash Chopra questions the desire of Team Australia to win the series. Following Australia’s consecutive defeats in the series, with a 44-run loss in Thiruvananthapuram and a close two-wicket defeat in Visakhapatnam, Chopra suggested that the Australian team might be suffering from mental fatigue due to the World Cup 2023 victory. In a video analysis on his YouTube channel, Chopra speculated that Australia’s current performance could be attributed to emotional exhaustion after their World Cup win. Visit : https://www.dadasports247.com Chopra said, “The Australian team needs to buck up, but the big question is, do they actually want to win? Are they here to win? ‘What else are you here for’ — it reminds me of Kapil Paaji (Dev). It is being heard that some reinforcements are being sent to Australia. They are slightly emotionally drained...
