India vs England 2016: 5 Talking Points from the 3rd Test in Mohali

#2 Haseeb Hameed overcomes pain

Hameed is turning out to be a real find for England

Affectionately called ‘Baby Boycott’ for his rare propensity to bat for longer periods of time in an era of limited-overs razzmatazz, Haseeb Hameed was dealt a severe blow during the early stage of the match when a vicious delivery from Umesh Yadav rammed into his fingers.

While waiting for medical prognosis, the 19-year old batted in the nets to test the extent of his injury and found it to be serious enough to prevent him from opening the second innings for England. Eventually, he bravely walked out to bat even as the writing appeared to be on the wall and scored an unbeaten 156-ball 59. It was later revealed that his Indian sojourn would come to an end in Mohali.
