During the 56th over, he was seen shaking his hand a bit, showing signs of suffering. Well, after that, hitting a few more sixes, he was seen summoning the physio for some treatment. Rishabh went slow for a few minutes and then hit two back-to-back shots at around the 67th over, the second one being brilliantly saved by Zak Crawly.
