Rishabh Pant suffers injury that alters India’s momentum against England in fourth Test

India's Rishabh Pant left the field on a golf buggy after sustaining a suspected broken foot during the fourth Test against England. The injury occurred when Pant attempted a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes and bottom-edged the ball onto his foot. He was batting at 37 when he had to retire, raising serious concerns about his ability to return to play in this critical match. Despite the setback, India had a strong start, reaching 212 for three at one point, before closing on 264 for four due to bad light.

The injury to Rishabh Pant has created a significant shift in the dynamics of the fourth Test. Pant has been a pivotal player for India, and his absence may hinder their strategy moving forward. While India had shown resilience in their innings, this injury casts doubt not only on the match but also on Pant's future participation in the series. England, buoyed by the situation, will likely see this as an opportunity to capitalize on India's weaker batting lineup without their star wicketkeeper.
