Rishabh Pant, the wicketkeeper batter, left the field with a finger injury and has not been back since, which might be a major setback for India. Following a blow to his left finger, Pant left the field at the conclusion of the 34th over. Pant was forced to shift around behind the stumps to gather deliveries that Jasprit Bumrah had strayed down leg-side, and in the process, the keeper injured one of his fingers on his left hand. The injury appeared to be treatable at first, but when he left the field to make way for Dhruv Jurel, the situation worsened. As soon as he entered the Indian locker room, Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of India, who was watching the game from the balcony of the legendary Lord's, sprang to his feet and tried to pant Pant.

Even though Pant's finger was given a fast shot of magic spray, it wasn't enough to keep him on the pitch. He departed, hoping to be back soon. After tea, though, Pant's absence at the start of the last session fueled supporter anxiety. The first report on Pant's injury has thankfully been released, and former England captain Michael Atherton said on television that the wicketkeeper had actually "chipped a fingernail."

"Still no Rishabh Pant. Word from the dressing room is that he has broken a fingernail. "He's receiving ice treatment," he stated.

Rishabh Pant's injury is discussed by the BCCI

The BCCI soon released a statement regarding Pant's injury, saying, "Team India vice-captain Rishabh Pant was hit on his left index finger." He is now receiving treatment while being monitored by the medical staff. Due to Rishabh's absence, Dhruv Jurel is now taking wickets.

This is not a good sign for the Indian squad. The news is usually bad whenever the BCCI makes such an announcement. Pant, one of the team's in-form batsmen, suffered this injury, which makes it even worse.

With 342 runs scored over the first two games in Leeds and Birmingham for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Pant is currently India's second-highest run scorer in the series, behind captain Shubman Gill. Despite the fact that Pant's twin hundreds were not in vain, he was the first Indian wicketkeeper to accomplish this feat at Headingley. Pant's scores at Edgbaston were 25 and 65, but he wouldn't mind because his half-century in the second innings helped India's scoring rate considerably, allowing them to set England a target of 336.
