The physio rushed out for a quick check, and the tension was visible among the Indian players and fans. With the team management holding its breath, the left-handed batter was given the thumbs up and got back into position to carry forward after a quick assessment by the team physio.
While Pant has notched up his fifty, KL Rahul is just a few runs away from his century, but India is still trailing by 165 runs. England had managed 387 runs in their first innings in the ongoing Lord’s Test. Rahul and Pant are trying their best to continue the moment after India lost Shubman Gill cheaply for 16.
