Big ‘accident’ with Shreyanka Patil
This painful incident happened on the first ball of the sixth over during the Netherlands innings. Shreyanka Patil was bowling and Dutch batsman Molkenboer was present on strike. Shreyanka bowled a brilliant length delivery on the line of the stumps. After throwing the ball, Shreyanka moved quickly to collect the ball herself which was going towards mid-on. During this time, her foot landed strangely on the field and she slipped badly. Due to sudden loss of balance, her ankle got badly twisted and she sat straight on the field due to pain.
Seeing Shreyanka in pain, the umpires and fellow players immediately called the physio on the field. The physio of the Indian team came to the field and examined her injury, but after the initial examination it became clear that the injury was very serious and she could not stand on her feet. Immediately after this, a medical cart and stretcher had to be called on the field. Shreyanka was taken out of the field on a stretcher. While leaving the field, pain and disappointment could be clearly seen on Shreyanka’s face. His injury like this in the middle of the tournament can become a big headache for captain Harmanpreet Kaur and the team management.
History of past injury
Ankle and finger injuries have been a problem for Shreyanka Patil in the past as well. Now after this new ankle twist, the fans and the team will be praying that this is just a minor strain and there is no serious fracture or ligament tear, so that he can return to the field as soon as possible. Earlier, during the Asia Cup 2024, Shreyanka had suffered a serious finger injury due to which she stayed away from cricket for 14 months. Once his thumb was also fractured. At the same time, before this he had also faced problems in the calves of both his legs.
