5 cricketers who battled on-field injuries with heroism

Wahab Riaz (Pakistan vs Sri Lanka – 2015)

Wahab Riaz suffered a hairline fracture to his arm but bowled nine overs

One of the most recent examples of on-field bravery is by Pakistani pacer Wahab Riaz. The Pakistani spearhead played with his arm almost broken in the second of the three-match series against Sri Lanka in 2015. His injury was an aftermath of the delivery from Dushmantha Chameera, in which he was struck on the glove and suffered a hairline fracture.

However, this had nothing to do with him bowling nine overs head strong, only to surrender later on when the pain got unbearable and he had to be taken off the field. Pakistan went on to win the match.

After all, where one’s willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great!
