Gautam Gambhir Leaves Balcony to Attend to Injured Rishabh Pant at Lord’s
A wave of concern washed over Lord’s during the third Test between India and England as young wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant suffered a finger injury. The incident occurred after a delivery from Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah struck Pant’s left hand.
Pant Receives Medical Attention
Dhruv Jurel subsequently replaced Pant behind the stumps. While Pant initially received on-field treatment, the injury appeared serious enough to warrant further medical attention off the field.
Gambhir’s Concern Visible
The seriousness of the situation was evident in the reaction of India’s head coach, Gautam Gambhir, who immediately left the balcony to check on the injured player. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak also showed visible concern for Pant’s well-being. The extent of Pant’s injury and its potential impact on his availability for the remainder of the series remains to be seen.
