Injury scare for Rishabh Pant ahead of India’s Test series
Ahead of the two-match Test series against South Africa, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant gave India an injury scare after he had to retire hurt during the second unofficial four-day fixture between India A and South Africa A at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, Bengaluru, on Saturday.
He came into bat but was struck on multiple occasions by fast bowler Tshepo Moreki and was forced to walk off after scoring just 17 off 22 balls in India's second innings. Following Pant's decision to walk, Dhruv Jurel came out to bat for India.
Notably, Pant is returning from a foot fracture sustained earlier this year on the tour of England. In the first game last week, he smashed a match-winning 90 off 113 in the second innings to take the side to a three-wicket win.
Meanwhile, Pant was recently added to India's squad for the Test series against South Africa and the India A fixture serves as a key in the lead-up to India’s Test series against South Africa, which starts 14 November in Kolkata.
