Rishabh Pant injured once again? Physios on the watch after the wicketkeeper retired hurt against South Africa A

After Rishabh Pant was taken off the field, he was later seen with his left hand strapped. The left-hander was batting on 17 off 22 balls as the time he left the field. The physio team now gave an update that they are observing the India A captain and a call will be made on whether Pant can bat or not.

“The team physios are observing him, and they will take a call whether he can bat or not, if the match situation comes to that,” a team official told PTI.

Moraki hit Pant flush on the helmet as Rishabh Pant attempted a reverse pull. He was then hit on the elbow while playing a conventional pull and eventually on the abdomen area that left him wincing in pain. Pant was subjected to medical attention on all three occasions.

India A coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar finally asked Pant to return despite him wanting to continue to bat. Rishabh Pant made 24 in the first innings, and has been named in the India squad for the two-match Test series against South Africa, beginning on November 14.
