India defeated Australia by 6 runs in their first of the two warm-up matches ahead of the start of their T20 World Cup campaign. To everyone's surprise Rishabh Pant did not come out to bat for India in the game despite the side losing 7 wickets while batting first against Australia in the game in Brisbane. While it was Dinesh Karthik who kept the wickets for India during bowling, Pant was spotted in the dugout with a heavy strapping and ice pack on his right knee.
The picture of Pant has gone viral on social media and the fans are getting worried about the player.
