Rishabh Pant, India’s star wicket-keeper, was forced off the field during the second day of the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand after sustaining a blow to his surgically repaired right knee. The incident occurred in the 37th over when a delivery from Ravindra Jadeja struck Pant’s leg, which recently underwent surgery after a road accident in December 2022. He had only recently returned to competitive cricket. Pant hobbled off the field with support, leaving Dhruv Jurel to keep wickets for the rest of the day.
The injury has sparked concerns for India’s wicket-keeper, with swelling around the knee area. Before Day 3, the BCCI confirmed Pant will not be keeping wickets, with the medical team closely monitoring his progress. India’s captain Rohit Sharma expressed concern after the day’s play, saying, “It hit his kneecap, the same leg where he had surgery. There’s swelling, and it’s tender right now. Hopefully, he recovers soon.”
India already faced challenges, having lost Shubman Gill due to a neck injury before the match. Now, with Pant’s injury and India’s batting struggles, including being bowled out for a mere 46 in their innings, their prospects look challenging. Stay tuned for further updates on Rishabh Pant and other Reddy Anna match predictions for the ongoing Test series.
