Timesofindia.com in manchester: Local time around 11 am, Rishabh Pant arrived at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground with his injured right leg protecting and secured inside a moonboot. He used a crutches for support and slowly made his way in the dressing room. In quick time of electricity, wicketkeeper-batter turned into Indian whites and was captured in the balcony behind head coach Gautam Gambhir. Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel.

The scenes of day 1 were still fresh in everyone’s mind and it was difficult to entertain the derogatory idea of pants to bat in that situation. Swelling, bleeding and inability to keep the injured leg down made it impossible to imagine walking down from the ladder from the dressing room to the ground.
When Shardul Thakur was rejected, all the chiefs moved to the steps and the ability was on their feet when they saw the pants in the middle. The scoreboard, match and cricket status took a backseat as whatever came out was the exhibition of grit, courage and the desire to contribute to the team. The opposite camp also had a feeling of shock as he did not expect any role in the pant testing and caught him by a little guard.

How many are you affected by Rishabh Pant’s performance despite your injury?
He extended his overnight score from 37 to 54, hit Jofra Archer with a six, lame for a single and ‘I am impossible’ in the dictionary of the pants, why is ‘I possible’ impossible. If it was not enough to bat with a painful finger on the Lord, then batting with a fragmented toe of left hand took it to a different level. An injury for which he needed to rest for at least six weeks, but took a backseat in the form of pants, as Pant wanted to score those important runs under the order.Several trips in the hospital and hours by the medical team kept a plan to keep him ready to bat at the place, and there was a lot of enthusiasm in the dressing room. They knew about the severity of the injury, but knew that it would take care of patience.“Everyone was very excited to see how he would contact his innings. And I think what he showed today, the passion he showed for the team is unmatched. We have seen a lot of examples in the past where they have batted in fracture. I think there was a time when Graeme Smith was batting in the South African team. His hand was fractured. “So, in these moments, the player’s patience comes in playing. And I think Rishabh’s positivity and his patience keeps him away from all the pain and whatever pain. Their pain is very high. If he is in pain, it is a big injury, “Shardul Thakur said in a post-day presser.With pants, it has been a case of grit over matter and will not be surprised that it lives in the second innings as well. There is no official term on his participation in the final examination, but this is not very likely. Manchester, however, could see another glimpse of eccentric that dances to its tunes. If the situation is demanded and the team is required, the crutches will be dug, the moonboot will be closed and it will again land those steps to give all of them to the team. Probably one last time in the series.
