Washington Sundar celebrates with KL Rahul after dismissing Harry Brook of England during Day Three of the 4th Test Match (Photo by) Shubman Gill 's maiden series as India's Test captain continues to throw stiff challenges at him, with the visitors under pressure on Day 3 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford. After England's dominant response with the bat, Gill's decision-making, particularly around reviews, came under the spotlight. India were bowled out for 358 on Day 2 and then endured a frustrating opening stand of 166 between Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett. Ravindra Jadeja and debutant Anshul Kamboj eventually broke the partnership, but by then England had seized control. Things deteriorated further on Day 3 as England piled on the runs, going past 460 with Joe Root scoring yet another hundred. Amid the growing scoreboard pressure, India's bowlers looked ineffective, and even their use of the Decision Review System became a talking point.

As the group debated whether to go upstairs for an LBW appeal, it was Washington Sundar who initially pushed for the review, arguing, " It wasn't that high. It didn't even go that high ." KL Rahul , however, offered a different assessment that eventually swayed the captain. 'It's not height. You know how far he played?

Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar, speaking on Star Sports, praised Rahul's intervention. 'India have already lost two reviews. Both times, it was Mohammed Siraj that was bowling.

Rishabh Pant ruled out of England series with fractured toe after reverse sweep blow
MANCHESTER: India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the ongoing Test series against England after scans confirmed a fracture in his right toe, sustained while attempting a reverse sweep on Day 1 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford. Pant, batting on 37 in the 68th over, inside-edged a delivery from Chris Woakes onto his foot during the final session on Wednesday. Although England reviewed the LBW appeal, replays showed an inside edge. Soon after, Pant signalled for medical attention and was visibly in pain, with blood seeping from his right foot. Unable to continue, he was carted off the ground on a buggy. 'He is ruled out for the next six weeks. A cover will be called in and it is likely to be Ishan Kishan,' a BCCI source told PTI. A source close to Pant said, 'At the moment, he's unable to put pressure on his foot, as everyone saw, he was carted off the ground yesterday. But he's determined, and knowing him, he might still come out to bat, who knows. That said, much will depend on the medical advice, not just his intent.' Despite the possibility floated by his camp, team sources later confirmed there was 'just no chance' of Pant returning to bat in the match. 'Yes, Rishabh Pant is ruled out of the series. He went for scans last night, and the reports have revealed a toe fracture. He is in a lot of pain right now,' sources told Hindustan Times. Pant remains with the squad but is reportedly unable to put any weight on the injured foot. He will be sidelined for up to two months, which makes him unavailable for India's immediate international commitments, including the potential white-ball series in Sri Lanka and the Asia Cup, if they go ahead as scheduled.

'Rishabh Pant hardly put his foot on the ground': Ricky Ponting says injury 'doesn't look good at all' for India
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting, who observed Rishabh Pant from close quarters during his stint as the head coach with the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), said the left-handed batter's injury doesn't 'look good' for the visitors, and the immediate swelling on his foot has him really worried. The southpaw got injured on Day 1 of the Manchester Test while trying to go for a reverse sweep off the bowling of Chris Woakes. Rishabh Pant being assisted by a physio after an injury on day one of the fourth Test. (PTI) Pant was batting on 37 when the incident happened. Off the bowling of Woakes, Pant went for a reverse sweep, but he only managed to inside edge the ball onto his foot. He survived the LBW appeal and the subsequent DRS from England. However, he was in immediate pain as the physio came charging out. Pant was unable to stand properly and had to be taken off the field in a golf cart-like vehicle. The wicketkeeper-batter also visited the hospital, and reports are awaited. At this stage, it looks unlikely that Pant will take any further part in the contest. 'He hardly put his foot on the ground. He rolled around for 6-8 minutes before the golf cart came in. The immediate swelling was the worry for me. I've had a metatarsal injury myself, and they're small, fragile bones,' said Ponting on Sky Sports. Also Read: Rishabh Pant leaves the field in ambulance after suffering gruesome injury, screams in pain 'The fact that he couldn't put any weight on it doesn't look good at all. If it's broken, he will be out of the game. If it's not, then they will do anything they can to get him back out there. Hopefully, he doesn't play any more reverse sweeps,' he added. 'Massive dent on India's chance' At stumps on Day 1 of the Manchester Test, India's score read 264/4 with Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur at the crease. Ponting feels India will surely miss Pant's absence if he is to play no further part in the match or the series. 'Thinking about the situation of the game as well, Shardul has come out and played nicely, but with the way Rishabh plays and the momentum he brings to the Indian team, that is what they will potentially miss the most. Someone who can put the pressure on the opposition,' said Ponting. 'For Indian fans, keep fingers crossed and hope it is not as serious as it looks. If he is out of the remainder of the game, then that leaves a massive dent on India's chance, not only in this game, but the remainder of the series,' he added. After the close of play on Day 1, the BCCI issued an update on Pant, saying the wicketkeeper-batter is 'being monitored' by the Medical Team after undergoing scans at the hospital. Further details are awaited.

England think Rishabh Pant will 'not be seen again' in the Manchester Test after woeful injury: 'Didn't look great'
England spinner Liam Dawson reckons Rishabh Pant will take no further part in the Manchester Test after the India vice-captain and wicketkeeper-batter suffered a gruesome injury on the opening day. The left-handed batter went for a reverse sweep off the bowling of Chris Woakes and, in the process, ended up injuring his foot. The batter was in tremendous pain and had to be taken off the field. He also underwent scans at the nearest hospital, and the reports are awaited. Liam Dawson reckons Rishabh Pant 'will not be seen again' in the Manchester Test(PTI) The 27-year-old's foot was badly swollen, as the live visuals showed, and he looked in unbearable pain after inside edging an attempted reverse sweep onto his right foot. He managed to survive the LBW appeal and the subsequent DRS. However, his inability to put any weight on his foot was a major worrying sign. Rishabh Pant was then taken off the field with the help of a golf-style buggy. He received medical attention from India's physio and was taken to the medical facility on the ground. The Indian captain, Shubman Gill, also went to see him there. Dawson, speaking to reporters after stumps on Day 1, said that he doesn't see Pant taking any further part in the match as his injury looked quite bad. 'Hope he's alright. Didn't look great, that. Obviously, thoughts with him. He's a big player for them. I don't think we'll see him again in this game,' said Dawson. Also Read: Rishabh Pant rushed to Manchester hospital for scans; Gautam Gambhir, Shubman Gill worried Pant was looking really good in the middle, and he was involved in a stand of more than 50 runs with Sai Sudharsan. The left-handed batter was batting on 37 off 48 balls when the incident happened. His innings also included a slog sweep off the bowling of Jofra Archer. At stumps on Day 1 of the Manchester Test, India's score read 264/4 in 83 overs with Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur batting on 19 each. What Sai Sudharsan said? Sai Sudharsan, who was at the non-striker's end at that time, said Pant was in a lot of pain. The team management is just hoping the scans do not reveal something more serious than what meets the eye. 'Obviously, he was batting really well. We will miss a batter if he doesn't come back again. So it will definitely have consequences, but at the same time, the batters we have batting right now, and there are a few more all-rounders inside,' said Sudharsan. 'So we will try and give our best and bat long so that we negotiate that loss well,' he added. This is the second injury that Rishabh Pant has faced in as many matches. In the previous Test at Lord's, Pant had suffered a blow on his left index finger while wicketkeeping during England's first innings. Dhruv Jurel then came in as a substitute wicketkeeper, and there are high chances of this happening in the ongoing Manchester Test as well.

Bleeding Rishabh Pant Taken Off The Field In Ambulance During Fourth Test, Star 'Struggling To Put..."
Rishabh Pant was retired hurt on Day 1 of the fourth India vs England Test in Machester that started on Wednesday. The incident happenned in the final session of the Day when Pant was hit on the boot by the ball while trying to reverse sweep off Chris Woakes. There was a big appeal for LBW. Though it was not out, India suffered a blow as Pant grimaced in pain. Pant received immediate medical attention. Blood was seen seeping off Pant's right foot, and the affected area had considerable swelling as well. More details of his latest injury is awaited. "Pant is struggling to put his foot on the ground. He is bleeding," Harsha Bhogle said on air. Pant was batting on 37 off 48 balls at that time. The wicketkeeper-batter could not even walk off the field as an ambulance had to be called as Pant continued to writhe in pain. This was the second injury for Pant in this series as he had bruised his finger while keeping during the third Test at the Lord's, which prevented him from guarding the stumps in England's second innings. Dhruv Jurel had kept the wickets then as a substitute. Rishabh Pant is driven off the field of play after suffering some severe swelling on his right foot and Ravindra Jadeja walks out to the middle... — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) July 23, 2025 Pant has had a sensational series with the bat so far, being the second-highest run-getter with 425 runs in six innings at an average of 70.83, with two centuries and two fifties. His best score is 134. Both his centuries came during the first Test at Leeds, becoming the first keeper-batter from India to do so. The explosive wicketkeeper-batter has broken several records so far in the series, such as overtaking legendary MS Dhoni for most Test centuries by an Indian glovesman in Test cricket, becoming Asia's most successful wicketkeeper-batter in South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia (SENA) matches and overtaking Dhoni for most runs by an Indian wicketkeeper-batter in England. During the home series against India in 1963/64, Kunderan in five matches, scored 525 runs at an average of 52.50, with two centuries and a half-century and best score of 192. Only three wicketkeeper-batters in history, DT Lindsay of South Africa (606 runs against Australia at home in five matches at an average of 86.57, with three fours and two fifties), Zimbabwe's Andy Flower (540 runs in two matches against India in 2000/01 in India, with two centuries and two fifties) and Kunderan (against England at home in 1963-64) have scored 500 or more runs in a bilateral Test series. Pant could join an elite club with a fine outing at Manchester.
