South Africa suffered a worrying moment in Raipur as pacer Nandre Burger appeared to injure himself badly during his spell. The left-arm quick lost his run-up twice in the same over, forcing him to stop midway. Moments later, he was seen hobbling and visibly uncomfortable, raising concerns in the South African camp.
The physio rushed in for a quick check as Burger continued to look in distress, suggesting that he might have pulled a muscle during his follow-through. His discomfort was clear, and the bowler could barely complete his stride.
With South Africa already under pressure, Burger’s injury scare has added another concern for Temba Bavuma’s side, especially after being heavily targeted earlier in the innings.
Further updates on Burger’s condition are awaited.
