Rishabh Pant Retires Hurt After Taking Multiple Blows Vs South Africa A
The incident took place during the first session on Day 3, when Pant was struck three times — on his body and helmet — by South African pacer Tshepo Moreki. The repeated blows rendered the wicketkeeper-batter unable to continue his innings, leading to his retirement on 17 runs off 22 balls in the 34th over of India A’s second innings.
Pant came in to bat at No. 5 early on the third morning after overnight batter KL Rahul was dismissed for 27 — adding just a single run to his score — by a sharp inducer from Okuhle Cele. The wicketkeeper-batter started positively, smashing Cele for back-to-back boundaries and a six in his first three scoring shots. However, his fluent start was soon interrupted as a barrage of short-pitched deliveries began troubling him.
