Watch: Pant's Gruesome Injury Leaves Team India Worried, What Exactly Happened?
Sai Sudharsan, who top-scored with 61 in India's stumps total of 264-4 and was at the other end when Pant was injured, said the left-hander "was in a lot of pain"
Manchester: India are anxiously awaiting the results of scans to discover the full extent of a foot injury suffered by Rishabh Pant that threatens to have major "consequences" for the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford.
Sai Sudharsan, who top-scored with 61 in India's stumps total of 264-4 and was at the other end when Pant was injured, said the left-hander "was in a lot of pain".
"He's gone for scans and we'll get to know overnight," Sudharsan told reporters after Wednesday's close.
"He was batting really well here. We miss a batter if he doesn't come back again, so it would definitely have consequences. We'll try to give our best and bat long so that we negotiate that loss," he added.
Pant counter-attacked in trademark fashion after India, sent in to bat by England captain Ben Stokes, slid from 94-0 to 140-3 on Wednesday's opening day in Manchester.
He slog-swept Jofra Archer for four and launched Brydon Carse for a superb straight six.
But Pant's latest dashing display was cut short when, on 37, the wicketkeeper inside-edged an audacious reverse sweep off Chris Woakes' yorker on to his right boot.
When Pant took off his boot, he revealed a foot that became increasingly bruised and swollen as he received lengthy on-field treatment from team medical staff.
Pant, who has scored 462 runs this series at a superb average of 77, was taken off the field on a buggy in evident pain.
His fitness to both bat and keep wicket in the rest of this Test -- a game India, at 2-1 down, must win if they are to clinch this five-match contest -- is now in doubt.
