India's wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was forced to retire hurt after sustaining a wrist injury during the first day of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo. The injury occurred in the 58th over when Sri Lanka's Lahiru Kumara bowled a short delivery, and Pant attempted a pull shot that resulted in him gripping the ball with his wrist. He immediately showed signs of discomfort and received immediate medical attention from the team's physio, who applied an ice pack and taped the wrist. After a brief stoppage, Pant walked off the field to receive further treatment in the dugout. Ravindra Jadeja replaced Pant in the batting lineup. India currently leads the two-match series 1-0 after winning the first Test in Galle by 165 runs.
