KL Rahul screams in pain, collapses in agony after Jayden Seales’ nasty delivery hits him on the box
Table of Contents
Indian opener KL Rahul was in agony after Jayden Seales' nasty delivery hit him on the box. Rahul was surprised by the sudden bit of bounce, and the ball hit him right in the box. The physio rushed in to check on the player whimpering with pain.
India finally managed to dismiss the West Indies batters for the score of 390 in their second innings after sustaining a follow-on in the first when they were bowled out for just 248 runs. This marked their best batting innings so far, with two centuries and a half-century from their batters for the first time this series.
Indian openers came in to chase the target of 121 on the final session of Day 3. Yashasvi Jaiswal walked in alongside KL Rahul, and Jaiswal looked in a hurry to win the match on Day 4 itself.
KL Rahul whimpers in pain after being freaked out by a blow to his lower body
Yashasvi Jaiswal got dismissed early after having smashed two early fours in the first over of the innings; the batter fell to Jomel Warrican, leaving the control of the Indian innings to his partner Rahul.
Jayden Seales came in with his second over of the innings against KL Rahul. Rahul played a trademark flick off the pads, and the ball went racing to the fence towards the backward square leg boundary.
The very next ball, the pacer pulled his length slightly back as the bit of extra carry kept the batter guessing, and the ball bounced more than expected and ended up hitting Rahul right on the box. The blow was nasty as the batter fell to the ground and whimpered in extreme pain.

Sai Sudharsan came in to Bat at no. 3: Injury not so grave as to be worth ruling him out of the game
Sudharsan showed a glimpse of promising form for the first time since his Test debut in the first innings of this Test against the West Indies. The left-handed batter scored 87 runs and contributed to a spectacular 197-run partnership alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal.
However, while fiddling with the forward short leg, he was hit nastily by a travelling ball when Campbell swept Ravindra Jadeja. To everyone's shock, Sudharsan completed the catch in a freak moment but was taken off the field after the blow.
He didn't come out to the field for India for the remainder of the overs, as he skipped Day 3 entirely and also the fielding sessions on Day 4, as Devdutt Padikkal came in as his replacement. Sudharsan, however, came out to bat when the first Indian wicket fell in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second innings of play.
Sudharsan has looked flawless in his 30* run innings on Day 4, and the injury didn't seem to have made any significant impact on the young batter. India posted 63/1 at Stumps on Day 4, only 58 more runs are needed to win the game.
