In the ongoing IND vs ENG 1st Test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, England encounters further challenges as their prominent spinner, Jack Leach, grapples with a "pretty serious" knee injury. The team, already trailing with a deficit of 175 runs against India, faces uncertainties about Leach's role in the remaining innings.

Leach's injury, initially incurred on the first day, worsened during the morning session on day two. Spin-bowling coach Jeetan Patel disclosed that the left-arm spinner suffered the blow while attempting to save a boundary. Patel acknowledged Leach's commitment, highlighting his commendable performance despite the evident discomfort.

Expressing concern, Patel hinted at the severity of the injury, speculating Leach's return for the fourth innings. The spinner, known for his resilience, had recovered from a stress fracture last summer, making the setback disheartening for the team. Patel emphasized the need to be cautious, indicating that Leach's determination might lead to his return in the subsequent innings.

Acknowledging Leach's toughness, Patel stated that the team would prioritize his recovery over rushing him back into play. With four Tests ahead, the team aims to ensure Leach's sustained contribution. As the Test match unfolds, England faces not only the challenge of narrowing the gap against India but also the crucial absence of one of their key players, Jack Leach.
