India A vs South A Unofficial 2nd Test: India's swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant suffered an injury scare during the ongoing Day 3 of the 2nd unofficial Test between India A and South Africa A in Bengaluru. The 28-year-old left-handed batter, who is making a comeback to competitive Cricket, suffered three blows on his body before he got himself retired hurt.

Interestingly, Pant will be back as vice-captain of the side during the two-match Test series against South Africa starting on November 14.

In a video posted by a Cricket fan on X, Pant can be seen struggling during the match after he got hit on the helmet, followed by on the elbow. He also got hit on the abdomen afterwards. Check out the video here:
