A moment of concern struck the Indian camp during the India vs Bangladesh ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 group match at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai when fielder Pratika Rawal suffered a painful-looking injury while fielding near the boundary line.
The incident occurred when Rawal attempted to stop a ball heading toward the ropes. In her effort, her leg got stuck awkwardly in the turf and twisted at an unnatural angle, leaving her visibly in discomfort. Play was halted immediately as teammates and medical staff rushed to check on her.
Rawal managed to get back on her feet after a few minutes, which came as a huge relief for the team and fans alike. She was seen being helped off the field by Sneh Rana and a member of the medical staff, walking gingerly but without assistance from a stretcher, a positive indication that the injury might not be severe.
The Indian dugout looked visibly concerned during the incident, with several players watching anxiously as Rawal received treatment. India will now hope the injury is nothing serious, as Rawal has been a key contributor in the field throughout the tournament.
While the focus soon shifted back to the ongoing match, the brief scare served as a reminder of the physical toll of the game and the courage shown by players in crucial moments of high-pressure tournaments like the World Cup.
