India’s hopes of beating England in the five-match Test series have been dealt a huge blow with the news that Rishabh Pant is out.The wicketkeeper was hit on the foot by a Chris Woakes delivery on day one of the fourth Test at Old Trafford and couldn’t carry on.Pant was left in huge amounts of discomfortGettyThe 27-year-old couldn’t put any weight on his foot, and when he removed his sock, there was a huge lump.After some medical attention, it became clear he wasn’t going to be carrying on.In fact, he couldn’t even walk off the pitch as a golf buggy had to serve as a temporary ambulance to take him away.And reports in India now suggest that Pant will be out for six weeks with a suspected fractured toe, meaning his tour is over.This is a huge blow for India because Pant has enjoyed a very strong series with the bat and the gloves.The mercurial batter has scored 459 runs, including two centuries at Headingley, but after retiring on 37 not out, his series appears to be over.Pant’s innings before his injury was spectacular as he tried every shot possible.The possible fracture happened when Pant attempted to reverse sweep Woakes’ delivery, and he ended up bottom-edging the ball into his foot.And speaking on Following On, talkSPORT’s David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd commented on the situation.Pant immediately knew he was in troubleGettyHe said: “Pant comes in and starts playing all sorts.“It looked like he’d had a stiff drink before coming out.“He was playing all sorts of shots before he retired hurt. He upped the ante a touch.“The India openers were very watchful, but then, Pant comes in, and he’s going to play his way, which is outrageous.“He gets the crowd going.”As a player, Pant is someone who can change Tests on his own, and with India 2-1 down in the series, this could prove to be a vital moment.The wicketkeeper will need to be replaced in the last Test, but for now, they will have to play a batter down.Ben Stokes was the pick of England’s bowlers on a tough day of Test cricketGettySubstitutions aren’t allowed in Test cricket, with the only exceptions being a sub-fielder and a concussion change.But India will have to complete the rest of the first and second innings with ten players.England won the toss for the fourth time in this series, making it 14 consecutive defeats for India in international cricket.The odds of that happening are 16,000/1, so they have to win one eventually.But Stokes chose to bowl, and despite a favourable pitch, England managed to take four wickets.Pant’s injury means the visitors were effectively five down as well, meaning England need to take just nine wickets in the first innings rather than ten as they look to wrap up the series.
