3rd Test: Jurel Steps Up As Wicketkeeper After Pant Goes Off The Field Due To Left Finger Injury
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Dhruv Jurel has stepped up as the Indian wicketkeeper after Rishabh Pant walked off the field due to a left finger injury during day one’s play in the third Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test against England at Lord’s on Thursday.
The incident happened in the 34th over when Pant copped a blow to the fingertips on his left hand while attempting to stop a Jasprit Bumrah delivery that was fired down legside against Ollie Pope. Pant, who dived to stop the ball, was visibly grimacing in pain while receiving treatment from physio Kamlesh Jain and even when he got his fingers heavily taped up.
Though Pant stayed on for the rest of the over as the keeper, broadcast visuals showed Jurel sent to do some wicketkeeping drills. Once the over was done, with Root and Pope bringing up half-century of their third wicket partnership, Pant walked off the field for further treatment with Jurel taking up the keeping gloves.
