Rishabh Pant Ruled Out for Six Weeks, Adds to India’s Injury Woes

Rishabh Pant’s injury has come as a major blow to Team India, with the latest scans confirming a toe fracture that will keep him out for at least six weeks. The incident occurred during the 68th over of the first innings of the Manchester Test when Pant was struck on the toe while attempting a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes.

A key figure in India’s middle order, Pant has been one of the team’s finest batters in Test cricket, and his absence duo the toe injury will be deeply felt in the remainder of the series. The medical team is exploring the possibility of sending him out with painkillers, but the chances remain slim.

Pant’s injury adds to an already injury-hit Indian squad. Nitish Kumar Reddy was ruled out ahead of the Test due to a knee issue, while fast bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep are also under observation with fitness concerns. And now following Pant’s injury update, social media went berserk as Indian fans expressed frustration with Pant’s absence being seen as a painful blow in every sense.
