Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 54394, member: 636"] Rishabh Pant suffered a right foot injury during the first day of the fourth Test match between India and England at Old Trafford. The wicketkeeper-batsman attempted a reverse sweep against Chris Woakes during the 68th over when the ball struck his foot directly. Medical staff treated Pant as swelling developed rapidly and blood appeared on the injured area. The vice-captain could not bear weight on the affected foot and required assistance from an ambulance cart to leave the field. His departure at 37 runs from 48 deliveries ended a productive 72-run partnership with B. Sai Sudharsan. Ravindra Jadeja replaced Pant at the crease while medical personnel assessed the severity of the injury. Former coach Ravi Shastri suggested England would capitalize on this development to pressure India's batting lineup. ICC regulations permit injured players to resume their innings if medical clearance allows their return to play. [/QUOTE]
