BCCI Delivers Bitter Rishabh Pant Blow To India On Day 3 Of Bengaluru Test

India's wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant hobbled off the field due to a knee injury on Day 2 of the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru. Pant's injury meant that substitute wicket-keeper Dhruv Jurel stood behind the stumps for India before the end of play on Day 2. On Day 3, however, Jurel continued to deputies for Pant who remained under observation of BCCI's medical team. The Indian board issued a statement on Friday morning, ruling Pant out for the entire day's play.

Team India was reduced to its lowest ever total at home in Tests, registering a paltry score of 46 in the first innings of the 1st Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru. India captain Rohit Sharma's decision to bat first backfired as the overcast conditions at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium made it increasingly difficult for batters to survive. The hosts were reduced to 10/3 after Rohit, Virat Kohli and Sarfaraz Khan failed to even survive the first hour of play in the morning session.

Matt Henry and William O'Rourke picked nine wickets collectively to bowl out India for just 46 on day two of first Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday. With this, India have now recorded their lowest total at home and third lowest Test score overall.
