Watch: Rishabh Pant taken off on mobile ambulance at Old Trafford after bloody foot injury
India's injury concerns mounted on Day 1 of the 4th Test at Old Trafford, as wicketkeeper-batter
Rishabh Pant
was forced to retire hurt after suffering a painful blow to his foot. Coming in after the dismissal of captain Shubman Gill, Pant looked in fluent touch, scoring 37 off 48 balls before the unfortunate incident occurred.
Facing Chris Woakes, Pant attempted a reverse sweep but missed the delivery completely and was struck straight on the right boot. England appealed for LBW, but the on-field call was not out. On review, UltraEdge showed a faint edge, saving Pant. However, the real concern was the damage done by the impact. There was a visible swelling, some bleeding, and immense discomfort as the player was forced off the pitch.

Pant received immediate medical attention as umpires called for drinks. Unable to stand or continue, he was helped off the field by the physio. Moments later, a small ambulance cart was brought in to take him away, with the 27-year-old visibly in agony.
Having already battled a finger injury earlier in the series, this latest setback casts doubt over Pant's availability for the remainder of the match. Ravindra Jadeja came in as the next batter, joining Sai Sudharsan at the crease.
