The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared a major update on Rishabh Pant’s finger injury, and that is not good at all for the India National Cricket Team in the ongoing third Test against England at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.
During the 34th over of England’s innings on Day 1, Jasprit Bumrah ended up slipping a ball down the leg side. Rishabh Pant dived to collect the ball but couldn’t grab it cleanly. The ball slipped past, allowing England to steal two byes at Lord’s. Just after the dive, the Indian wicketkeeper was seen in considerable pain.
