India Awaits Rishabh Pant Scan Results After Foot Injury vs England

India's cricket team faces uncertainty as star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant suffered a painful foot injury during the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford, putting his participation in doubt. Pant, who was batting well on 37, was struck on the right foot attempting a reverse sweep and had to retire hurt, being taken off the field in visible pain and swelling. The BCCI confirmed Pant underwent scans, with medical staff closely monitoring his condition, while commentators like Ricky Ponting warned that if the foot, which involves small fragile bones, is broken, Pant could be ruled out for the remainder of the match and potentially impact the series. Pant had been managing a prior finger injury from the previous Test, making this new setback particularly concerning for India, which is trailing 2-1 in the five-match series and needs a win. Teammates and opponents alike expressed concern, with Sai Sudharsan noting the potential consequences of Pant's absence and England's Liam Dawson doubting Pant's ability to continue playing. The injury has added pressure on the Indian batting lineup as they closed Day 1 on 264-4, hoping for a positive update on Pant's fitness to support their crucial series challenge.
