T20 WC 2024: Rishabh Pant suffers a massive INJURY SCARE; seen limping on the ground (Watch Video)

Rishabh Pant, on Wednesday (April 24), copped a painful blow on his thigh during the game between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

The incident took place in the 13th over of the innings when the DC captain decided to stand up to the stumps when Rasikh Dar Salam was bowling. With pinch-hitter Shahrukh Khan at the crease, Rishabh Pant probably did not want him to bat from outside the crease and decided to stand just behind the stump.

However, he failed to gather the fifth ball of the over and ended up suffering a painful blow. It was a length delivery from the right-arm pacer that angled in sharply after pitching. Shahrukh Khan was beaten all ends up as the ball sneaked through his bat and pad. Rishabh Pant also failed to collect the ball and it hit him on his thigh. 

The DC star was grimacing in pain straightaway and started limping. He immediately decided to walk back and not stand just behind the stumps. Rishabh Pant looked in pain and was limping profusely. However, he managed to stay on the field and lead his team. DC will be hoping that the blow was not serious and their talismanic skipper continues to ply his trade for them.
