During the second session of the third day of the Lord’s Test on Saturday, Shoaib Bashir injured his left hand while attempting to make a challenging catch to dismiss Ravindra Jadeja. As a result, he had to leave the pitch. After removing KL Rahul, who had just achieved his second century at the Home of Cricket, Bashir was bowling incredibly effectively and his confidence was high, thus this ended up being a worrying situation for England and their supporters.
Off the fifth ball of the 78th over, the event took place. Jadeja rushed down the pitch and hammered a strong, low delivery from Shoaib Bashir that was flighted towards her. Despite his best efforts, the England off-spinner was unable to reach both hands on the ball in time. After the ball struck his left hand, he fell to the ground and remained there for a while before rising and phoning for assistance.
When the physio examined Shoaib Bashir injury, it appeared that he was in a lot of pain.
The 21-year-old made the decision to leave the pitch and get medical attention. Joe Root bowled off-spin to finish the over. In the 80th over of India’s opening innings, Bashir would have bowled at least one more over during his term. When the second new ball became available at the end of the 80th over, Root filled in and bowled seven deliveries before England chose to take it right away.
For now, Shoaib Bashir condition will be evaluated by England’s medical staff. England has only one specialist spinner in their lineup, in contrast to India’s two spin-bowling all-rounders. The Three Lions will be hoping that Bashir’s injury isn’t as severe as it initially appeared to be. Rahul was taken out by the Chertsey native, who has bowled 14.5 overs in the innings and given up 59 runs. Two maidens were also part of his spell.
