India has faced a significant blow in their ongoing ODI World Cup 2025 journey after star opener Pratika Rawal was compelled to leave the field due to an unusual injury during the final league-stage match against Bangladesh in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, October 26.

The incident took place on the last ball of the 21st over when Bangladesh’s Sharmin Akter hit the ball towards midwicket. Rawal, rushing in to make the stop, tried to slide along the boundary to prevent a four. Unfortunately, her right foot landed awkwardly, twisting her ankle and seemingly getting stuck in the ground. She immediately collapsed in visible pain, raising alarms among her teammates and officials.
