Rishabh Pant arrives in crutches at Old Trafford; will India batter join the fight as visitors push to save 4th Test?

Rishabh Pant's chances of batting in the second innings of the fourth Test on the fifth day looked bleak as the Indian vice-captain arrived in crutches on Sunday at Old Trafford. Pant, who took a hit while batting on the opening day of the Test match, has fractured his toe and wasn't in a situation to even stand. Despite the unbearable pain, Pant came out to bat on the second day, after having strong pain killers and scored a fifty. Dhruv Jurel has been keeping wickets for India in the Test match. While it was unclear whether Pant would bat or not, he might nit have to come out padded up unless India suffer a miraculous collapse. In a picture shared on social media by his Indian Premier League (IPL) Lucknow Super Giants, Pant was seen walking in crutches with his training kit on. After having conceded a first-inning lead of 311 runs, India started their second innings on a disastrous note losing both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan departing with no runs on board. Captain Shubman Gill and KL Rahul revived the Indian ship with a 188-run stand for the third wicket before the latter missed century by 10 runs. Gill too perished after completing his hundred. Since then its all about all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who have forged an unbeaten century-run stand to fight against England. If assumptions are to be believed In case the ongoing partnership is broken, Shardul Thakur will come out to bat before the pacers - Anshul Kamboj , Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj - come in, before Pant might arrive. Notably, all are capable of surviving the English bowling attack in the middle.

IND vs PAK: Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly on playing Pakistan in Asia Cup 2025 - 'Sport must go on'

India vs Pakistan (File Photo) The upcoming Asia Cup 2025 is already generating headlines, not just for its blockbuster fixtures but also for the political tension surrounding them. Scheduled from September 9 to 28 in the UAE, the tournament sees India and Pakistan once again drawn in the same group, setting the stage for potential multiple high-voltage encounters. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has weighed in on the controversy, especially in light of the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! While acknowledging the national sentiment, Ganguly maintained a firm but balanced stance. 'I am okay. The sport must go on. At the same time, Pahalgam should not happen. Terrorism must not happen; it needs to be stopped. India took a strong stance towards terrorism... Sport needs to be played,' he told ANI. His comments come amid growing criticism following the Asia Cup draw. The backlash intensified after Pakistan's Danish Kaneria questioned India's participation, drawing a contrast with India's withdrawal from the World Championship of Legends (WCL) clash against Pakistan in July due to patriotic reasons. The Asia Cup will be played in the T20 format, acting as a tune-up for the 2026 T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. Poll Are you excited about the T20 format of the Asia Cup? Very excited!
