India's wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant sustained a painful fracture on his toe during the first day's play of the fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in Manchester.
While batting against Chris Woakes, Pant tried a reverse lap shot, but the ball hit the inside edge of his bat and crashed straight into his foot, resulting in a nasty injury.
The southpaw was ruled out of the rest of the series but still came in to bat and added 17 runs on Day 2 of the match, to help India reach 358 runs in the first innings.
