The latest update about Pant's fitness was received during tea time on the third day. As soon as all the players went out, Pant came on the field immediately. During this time he had a bat in his hand and he was also wearing a pad on his right leg. Let us remind you that Pant was injured in this knee by Ravindra Jadeja's ball. This is the same knee which was also badly injured in a road accident. Due to all these things, his injury was being taken very seriously.
However, the latest update has brought relief news. Pant practiced batting during the tea break. He knocked and hit straight shots. After this, he was seen pushing forward so that his legs were stretched and his knee was put under pressure. He did not face any problem in all this, which shows that Pant is ready to bat in the second innings.
Pant, who scored the highest 20 runs for India in the first innings, was seen in a lot of pain after the ball hit his knee. He immediately lay down on the field and even after the physio came, he was seen suffering from pain. After this, it was decided to take him out of the field and even in this he was not able to go out on his own. He was taken out of the field with strong support.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma had told that there is a slight swelling in Pant's knee and he was sent out of the field as a precaution.
