India vs England 4th Test: LSG's four-word social media post for Rishabh Pant goes viral after wicketkeeper batter arrives to bat despite toe fracture

Rishabh Pant's Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), lauded the wicketkeeper batter after he came to bat despite a toe fracture on Day 2 of the fourth Test match against England at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. Pant left the field midway after getting an injury during Day 1 of the 4th Test against England.

LSG took their Instagram to share Rishabh Pant's picture after he came to bat despite getting an injury.

"Nothing but respect, Rishabh" captioned LSG.

Pant, who seemed to be ruled out of the remainder of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, came to bat on Day 2 of the fourth Test match after Shardul Thakur's wicket. The injured Pant walked in awkwardly, got a standing ovation a day after retiring hurt on 37 after copping a blow on his right foot, braved pain to make 54 off 75 balls.

This is the second time that Pant got an injury in the same series. Earlier, he had bruised his finger while keeping during the third Test at Lord’s, which prevented him from guarding the stumps in England’s second innings. Dhruv Jurel had kept the wickets then as a substitute.

Coming back to the fourth Test, resuming on 264 for four, India managed to score 358 runs. The Shubman Gill-led side were dealt an early blow as Ravindra Jadeja edged a Jofra Archer outswinger to Harry Brook at second slip in only the day's second over. It was a fine catch by Brooks who dived forward to hold the dipping ball.

Shardul Thakur (41) and Washington Sundar (27) then added 48 runs for the sixth wicket while negotiating a tough phase after England opted to take the second new ball at the start of the day's play.

England skipper Stokes broke the flourishing stand when he had Thakur brilliantly caught at gully by a diving Ben Duckett.
