NEW DELHI: Rishabh Pant endured a tough day at the office, taking a painful blow from a Mitchell Starc short delivery during the opening day of the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the SCG on Friday.
The incident occurred in the 35th over of India’s innings when Pant, attempting to fend off a sharp bouncer from Starc, was struck on the arm. The impact left a noticeable bruise, quickly turning the area black. Pant immediately called for medical attention, and the team physio treated the injury with an ice pack.
