However, during this exercise, an incident occurred which has increased the tension of Indian fans. Team India’s star wicket -keeper batsman Rishabh Pant has suffered a knee injury.
A worrying news has been revealed from Team India’s practice session. Rishabh Pant may not be part of the playing XI in the ODI series against England, but he could prove to be Rohit Sharma’s important link in the Champions Trophy. His injury has increased the tension of Indian fans.
Rishabh Pant gets hurt on Hardik’s shot
Surprisingly, Rishabh Pant did not get this hurt while batting. He had to suffer the punishment for someone else’s mistake. Actually, Team India’s star all -rounder Hardik Pandya was batting at the nets. One of his shot went straight into Rishabh Pant’s knee. The bad news is also that this is the same knee that took place after the car accident.
The members of Team India looked a bit worried after Rishabh Pant got hurt during practice. Hardik Pandya immediately went to him and hugged him. Pant’s injury is not yet much information about how serious it is. All Indian fans will pray that they get fully fit.
In the ODI series against England, Rishabh Pant was the only player who did not get a chance to play a single match. KL Rahul played as a wicket -keeper batsman in all three matches. After eliminating the British, head coach Gautam Gambhir interacted with the broadcaster and made it clear that at the moment Rahul is his number-1 wicket keeper and Pant will have to wait. Gambhir said that KL Rahul will play as wicket -keeper batsman in the upcoming matches. He also made it clear that the same wicket -keeper will play in the playing XI.
