Team India on edge after Ishan Kishan takes painful blow from Jasprit Bumrah in nets ahead of Namibia clash

The incident occurred late in the session, with the squad going through final preparations for the Namibia match in T20 World Cup. After a quick assessment and some treatment on the sidelines, Kishan managed to get back on his feet and returned to batting for a short while to see how he felt. He spent a few more minutes in the nets before deciding to call it a day and head back. There has been no official word yet on the extent of the knock, but the team is expected to keep a close watch on his recovery before taking any call on his participation, with caution likely to be the priority.
