Sarfaraz played Matt Henry’s ball towards backward point, he ran the first run quickly, but then seeing the ball in the fielder’s hand, did not go for the second run. However, Pant did not look at him and started running for the second run. Pant had crossed more than half the pitch and on the other hand, Sarfaraz was trying his best to stop him. When Rishabh Pant narrowly escaped being run out To stop Rishabh, Sarfaraz shouted loudly and started jumping on the pitch. He was also shaking both his hands so that somehow Pant could see that he was not going to run. Eventually Pant saw him and returned back to his crease. During this, Devon Conway also made a bad throw and wicketkeeper Tom Blundell, who caught it, also made a big mistake.

Instead of hitting the ball at the striker’s end, he attempted a throw at the other end but the ball remained in his hands. Because of this Pant narrowly escaped being run out.

He got injured at the same place where Rishabh had undergone surgery and now there is some swelling there. We are taking this very seriously. We do not want to take any risk regarding Rishabh Pant. He has had to face a lot of problems for some time now and we are hopeful that today Rishabh Pant will fully recover and tomorrow we can see him back on the field keeping. Let us tell you that Team India failed to bat well in its first innings and was all out for 46 runs. The highest run scorer from the host side was Rishabh Pant who played an inning of 20 runs.
