Team India is in trouble in the third Test match of the 4 match series against Australia. Two of his players have been injured. Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja were injured during the Indian innings batting. Pant’s left elbow was injured. He is sent to the hospital for a scan. He was replaced by Wriddhiman Saha. Ravindra Jadeja has a left thumb injury. Mayank Agarwal landed in his place.
If Pant’s injury is serious, he may be out of the third Test against Australia here. Not only this, he may also have to sit out of the fourth Test match of the series to be held in Brisbane next. He has been replaced by reserve wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha under ICC rules in this match. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given an update regarding the injury of Rishabh Pant. A statement issued by the BCCI said, “Rishabh Pant suffered an injury to his left elbow while batting on Saturday. He has been taken for a scan. However, according to cricket website Cricbuzz, Ravindra Jadeja has also been sent to the hospital for a scan..
Pant was hurt while playing a pool shot off a short ball from Pat Cummins. He missed Cummins’ ball and the ball hit his elbow. In fact, according to Rishabh Pant’s guess, the ball did not bounce and his elbow was injured. However, Rishabh Pant decided to bat again after being injured. He returned to the ground after tying the strip but could not score that fast. He returned behind the wicket off Josh Hazlewood. He scored 36 runs in his 67-ball innings.

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also got a short ball in the bowling arm while batting. He also had to undergo treatment on the field. He batted with a strip, but did not hit the ground during Australia’s batting. Mayank Agarwal replaced Fielding in his place. Now it will be important to see if he can bowl or not? If he could not bowl, it would be a big blow for Team India. Jadeja took 4 wickets for 62 runs in the first innings.
