Talented India batter Sai Sudharsan gave an update on Rishabh Pant’s injury after stumps on Day 1 of the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford in Manchester as well. However, Pant sustained an injury in his right foot in the final session of the day’s play after being hit on his boot by the speedster, Chris Woakes. He was in severe pain as he was spotted limping near the pitch, taking his pads off as well.

At the end of the day’s play, Sudharsan opened up on Pant’s injury in the press conference, saying, “He was in a lot of pain definitely, but they’ve gone for scans. We’ll get to know overnight, probably get the information tomorrow. Obviously he will be a big miss, because he was batting really well today as well, and plus we miss out on a batter. If he doesn’t come back again it will definitely have consequences. But at the same time, the batters who are batting right now and there are a few more all-rounders inside. We’ll try and give our best and bat long so that we negotiate that loss very well.”

While speaking about his innings, he also shared how he had to negotiate the tough time under overcast conditions but he also said that he was not under any pressure to prove his selection as well.

“I’m not looking at it as a pressure situation, it’s a great opportunity for me to go out there and express myself. Yes, the game is all about pressure and handling it really well. I was trying to play the situation very well and do what I can do best for my team. So that’s the most important thought, which is right up in my mind rather than me playing my first test or me playing in place of another batter. So as a batter or as a player for the team, I’m trying to do my best when I get in there, not to think about, did I play the last game or am I replacing somebody so that I have to definitely get runs, nothing like that,” Sai Sudharsan concluded.
