**Bengaluru, India:** Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant sustained an injury during the first Test match against New Zealand in Bengaluru on Thursday. The incident occurred in the 37th over of New Zealand’s innings when Pant was struck on the knee while attempting to stop a shot by Devon Conway.
Pant was immediately taken off the field and replaced by Druv Jurel. The extent of the injury is still unknown, but the incident has raised concerns about his availability for the rest of the series and the upcoming tour of Australia.
The incident comes as a blow to the Indian team, who are already struggling in the match. They were bowled out for a record low score in the first innings and are facing a significant deficit. Pant’s injury could further impact the team’s chances of winning the series.
Fans and cricket experts are hoping for a quick recovery for the star wicketkeeper, who was returning to the team after a long break. His injury will be closely monitored, and updates are expected to follow.
