Rishabh Pant got injured on day one of the ongoing Lord’s test.

England Cricket Team and Indian Cricket Team are wrestling in third test of the five-match series at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. On day one, Indian wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant suffered an injury on his finger while trying to stop a delivery off Jasprit Bumrah. Following that, he had to leave the field as he looked in immense pain.

Dhruv Jurel was called in as a substitute wicket-keeper and kept the stumps for the rest of the game, including the second innings. According to ICC rules, a substitute wicket-keeper can keep the stumps in case of injury to the primary wicket-keeper in a test match. However, he is not allowed to bat or bowl.

Notably, Pant came out to bat in the first innings. The left-handed batsman played a crucial knock of 74 runs off 112 deliveries. He also etched a crucial 141-run partnership with KL Rahul for the fourth wicket. However, he got a run-out in the first session on day three.
