In the ongoing IND vs NZ first Test, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant had to leave the field due to an injury. This incident occurred on the second day of the match, prompting Dhruv Jurel to assume wicketkeeping duties during New Zealand’s first innings.
Details of the Injury
Rishabh Pant sustained a knee injury after being struck by a delivery from Ravindra Jadeja during the 37th over. Medical staff attended to him immediately, but Pant was unable to continue, raising concerns for the Indian team.
Match Performance
India struggled significantly with the bat, suffering their lowest-ever Test score at home, being bowled out for just 46 runs. This match, held at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, has seen New Zealand bowlers dominate, with Matt Henry achieving impressive figures of 5 wickets for just 15 runs.
Impact on the Team
With Rishabh Pant’s departure, the Indian team’s strategy may need adjustment. Dhruv Jurel’s performance as a replacement wicketkeeper will be crucial for India as they face New Zealand in this challenging Test match.
