India had a major injury scare as star wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant left the field after being hit on the knee during the first Test of the ongoing three-match Test series against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on October 17. .
The horrific incident happened in the last ball of the 37th over of New Zealand’s first innings in Bengaluru. Ravindra Jadeja bowled a sensational delivery to Devon Conway that almost resulted in a dramatic dismissal.

As Conway attempted a rush drive, the ball spun sharply and sat perfectly in his footprints. And he completely misjudged the delivery by Jadeja. The ball goes narrowly past the off stump, goes past and hits Rishabh Pant’s knee in the unprotected area.
The impact was jarring and Pant frowned at the pain. As the physio raced onto the field, concerns grew over the severity of the injury. Physiologist was seen removing the right pillow while assessing the situation.
It was the right knee he injured in a horrific car accident in December 2022. Meanwhile, Dhruv rushed onto the field wearing his pads while Jurel took the gloves from Pant. Fans can only hope that some quick icing will help Pant recover quickly and return to action.
