Rishabh Pant is injured during India’s innings in the second Test against Sri Lanka after the ball strikes his left arm. He immediately reacts in pain and receives on-field medical attention, including assessment by the team physiotherapist and the application of an ice pack. Pant then leaves the field in visible discomfort after the treatment.
The incident occurs in the 58th over of India’s innings. Sri Lanka’s bowler Kumara bowls a short delivery, and Pant attempts a pull shot behind square but fails to make proper contact, resulting in the ball hitting his left arm. The accounts also note that Pant scores three runs off 15 balls before the injury. Coverage focuses on the sequence of events and the immediate first-aid response, with both outlets describing the nature of the impact and the team’s attempt to tape the arm as part of the procedure.
