India all-rounder Shreyanka Patil left the field with an ankle injury during the Women’s T20 World Cup match against the Netherlands on Tuesday. The incident occurred while she was fielding during the Dutch innings.
Patil appeared to twist her right ankle while attempting to stop a single. She fell immediately and remained on the ground as medical staff attended to her. After several minutes of treatment, she was taken off the field on a stretcher. The extent of the injury was not immediately known, and she was sent for scans after leaving the ground.
Injury Occurs During Sixth Over
The injury happened on the first ball of the sixth over. Patil had just completed her delivery and moved toward mid-on as the batters set off for a run.
While collecting the ball, she lost her footing and rolled her right ankle. Television replays showed her ankle turning awkwardly as she tried to change direction. Patil signaled for assistance straight away. Members of India’s medical team came onto the field and examined her before deciding that she could not continue.
She was unable to walk off without help and was eventually carried from the ground on a stretcher. No official statement regarding the severity of the injury was released immediately after the match.
Patil’s Scan Results Awaited
The injury comes shortly after Patil’s return to international cricket following a lengthy spell on the sidelines. She had missed more than a year of action before making her comeback. In recent interviews, Patil spoke openly about the difficulties she experienced during that period and her efforts to return to full fitness.
India’s team management is now waiting for the results of medical scans to determine whether she will be available for the remaining matches of the tournament.
Any extended absence would leave India without one of its spin-bowling options as the competition moves into its later stages. For now, the team has not provided a timeline for her recovery.
India Defeats Netherlands by 95 Runs
India went on to complete a 95-run victory over the Netherlands despite Patil’s departure from the match.
The Indian batters posted a strong total before the bowlers restricted the Netherlands throughout the chase. The result added another win to India’s World Cup campaign.
However, attention after the match shifted to Patil’s condition and the outcome of her medical assessment.
With several important fixtures still ahead, India will wait for further updates before making decisions about its playing combination. Further information on Patil’s fitness is expected once the team’s medical staff reviews the scan results.
