Injury Strikes Team India at Lord's

On the opening day of the Test match at Lord's, Team India faced a setback as Rishabh Pant sustained an injury while keeping wickets. This unfortunate incident forced him to leave the field, prompting the team to bring in Dhruv Jurel as his replacement. The injury occurred during the 34th over of the innings, shocking both the Indian players and their supporters as Pant made his way towards the dressing room.


Details of the Incident

During the 34th over, a delivery struck Pant's left hand, causing him significant pain. Despite the physio's efforts to assist him, Pant remained uncomfortable and ultimately exited the field as soon as the over concluded. Dhruv Jurel took over as the wicketkeeper. Pant, who had previously made a significant impact in the first Test at Leeds with two centuries, had a mixed performance in the second Test at Edgbaston, where he scored a half-century in the second innings.


Nitish Kumar Reddy's Impressive Performance

After winning the toss, England chose to bat first, allowing India to showcase their bowling skills. Nitish Kumar Reddy made an immediate impact by taking two key wickets in the first over, dismissing openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley for 23 and 18 runs, respectively. This early success put England on the back foot, while Joe Root and Ollie Pope were currently at the crease, with Root nearing a half-century.
