            ENG vs IND: Rishabh Pant injured and went out of the field in the middle of the match, Team India’s tension increased; Will he be able to bat

            Rishabh Pant

            Rishabh Pant Injury Lord’s Test Dhruv Jurel Starts Wicketkeeping: The Indian team is seen tightening the noose on England’s batsmen after the first session of the Lord’s Test. Meanwhile, the injury of Indian vice-captain and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has increased the team’s concern. Actually, in the 34th over of the innings, when the ball was in the hands of Jasprit Bumrah.

            In the same over, while collecting a throw, the ball hit the tip of his left hand finger. After this, the game was stopped for more than five minutes. Pant was in a lot of pain and in the end the physio asked him to leave the field. After that Dhruv Jurel came on the field to do wicketkeeping in his place.

            Will Rishabh Pant be able to bat?

            It would be too early to know or say anything about how serious is Rishabh Pant’s injury. The way the scenes were seen on the field, it was clear that he was in a lot of pain. Pant’s role in batting is more important than what Team India needs as a wicketkeeper. He scored a century in both innings of Leeds. After that, his quick 65 runs in the second innings of Edgbaston troubled the British.

            Fans would like that his injury is not serious and there is no fracture etc. Therefore, now it will be known only after scans and investigation whether he is able to bat or not. Pant’s exit from the field would have increased the tension of the captain and Team India’s camp as well as the fans. Some updates on his injury are likely to be received shortly.

            India’s brilliant bowling

            Talking about the game so far, England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and decided to bat first. India did not get a wicket in the first hour but from the very beginning the Indian pacers kept the English batsmen tied down. After that Nitish Kumar Reddy, after the drinks break of the first hour, sent both the openers Duckett and Crawley to the pavilion in his first over. After that Joe Root and Ollie Pope stood at the crease. Indian bowlers were looking for wickets till lunch. Siraj, Bumrah and Akashdeep bowled well but they could not take wickets in the first session.

            ENG vs IND: Indian pacers put a lock on England’s ‘badgeball’, captain Shubman Gill also sledged them in the middle of the field

            Shubman Gill

            Shubman Gill Sledge England Players: The third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is being held at Lord’s, which started today. In this match, the England team won the toss and decided to bat first. Playing first in the match, England’s ‘badgeball’ strategy has been seen so far. Regarding this thing, Indian captain Shubman Gill was seen sledging veterans Joe Root and Ollie Pope.

            Shubman Gill had fun for English batsmen

            Looking at the speed at which the England team is scoring runs at present, it seems that a proper Test match is being played. Between 28 and 33 overs, the England team was able to score only 2 runs. During this, one run was scored after 29 balls. England is scoring at a run rate of less than 3. Due to this the match seems quite boring. Fans and Indian players thought that when England would come out to bat, they would show an aggressive style of badball. But this has not happened yet. This is the reason why Gill sledged Root-Pope at the beginning of the second session.

            During this, he was heard saying through the stump mic, ‘No more entertaining cricket’, ‘Back to boring cricket’. Surely, Gill is trying to provoke the English players to score runs at a fast pace by sledging them in this way, so that they make some mistake in a hurry and India gets wickets.

            England’s score crosses 100

            The pair of Jack Crowley and Ben Duckett gave the team a good start and added 43 runs for the first wicket. This pair was broken by Nitish Reddy. He sent both the openers to the pavilion at a score of 44. After two wickets fell early, Root and Pope took charge of England’s innings and took the team’s score beyond 100. The Indian team is now looking for the third wicket.
