 R

ishabh Pant, India's vice-captain and wicketkeeper, suffered a finger injury during the third Test against England at Lord's. Here's a comprehensive update on his condition:

*Injury Details*

- Pant hurt his left index finger while keeping wickets in the 34th over of England's innings.

- He was hit by a delivery from Jasprit Bumrah, which strayed down the leg side, and attempted to stop the ball.

- Pant grimaced in pain and received treatment on the field, but eventually walked off and was replaced by Dhruv Jurel.

*Current Status*

- The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that Pant is receiving treatment and is under the supervision of the medical team.

- Pant is unlikely to keep wickets on Day 2, with Dhruv Jurel expected to continue in his place.

- The BCCI has not confirmed whether Pant will bat on Day 2, but it's likely that he'll miss the session if the discomfort persists.

*Impact on the Team*

- Pant's absence behind the stumps won't significantly impact the team, as Jurel has shown exceptional skill and technique.

- However, the team will miss Pant's batting, as he's been a key player in the series, scoring twin centuries in the first Test and 65 in the second Test.

*Update from BCCI*

- "Rishabh Pant got hit on his left index finger. He is receiving treatment at the moment and under the supervision of the medical team. Dhruv Jurel is currently keeping wickets in Rishabh's absence," the BCCI stated ¹ ².

The Indian team will hope that Pant recovers soon, as his batting prowess will be crucial in the remainder of the match ³.
