Oblique muscle tear

Baroda Cricket Association Stadium: Dhruv Jurel has been named as the injury replacement for Rishabh Pant, who has been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand due to due to a right side strain injury, the BCCI said on Sunday.

Rishabh Pant felt a sudden onset of discomfort in his right lateral abdominal area while batting in the nets during India’s practice session on Saturday afternoon at the BCA Stadium, Vadodara.

The BCCI said that Pant was immediately taken for scans, and it was revealed that the wicketkeeper batter was diagnosed with a side strain (Oblique Muscle Tear) which ruled him out of the series.
