Was Cheteshwar Pujara the only one who played courageously despite injuries? Here's the list

While batting against West Indies at Antigua in 2002, Anil Kumble was hit on the mouth by a Mervyn Dillon lifter. He spat out blood but continued to bat.

After his innings he found out that the jaw was fractured, and that he would not play any more part in the series. Kumble still went on to bowl 14 overs with a bandaged face (which had to be reset almost every over) and even took the wicket of Brian Lara.

In the Pakistan vs South Africa at Lahore during the 2003-04 series, Gary Kirsten, who had walked in at No. 3 was his usual solid self. 

Shoaib Akhtar, who was bowling around the wicket, dug one in short to the well-set Kirsten. The left-hander looked to pull, however, he was beaten for pace as the ball smashed his face. Kirsten staggered to his knees as the Pakistan team huddled around him. The batsman had to retire hurt for 53 and x-rays had revealed that he had a broken nose.

In the second innings, South Africa lost regular wickets and at 149 for four, Kirsten walked out to bat, but his face was barely recognisable.

He showed grit and determination and went on to score a hard-fought 46 before he was sent back. Pakistan did win by eight wickets, but Kirsten's heroics in the second innings remained iconic.

In the Test against Australia in 2009, South Africa's Graeme Smith had started off in excellent fashion hammering 30 at a run-a-ball to start the innings. 

However, Mitchell Johnson's thunderbolt had rapped Smith on his left hand, breaking it. With the skipper out, the Proteas were bundled out for 327.

Australia amassed 257 in the second and left South Africa with a huge 376 to win. The South African batsmen fought hard for the draw, but Dale Steyn was the ninth man out with around nine overs left in the game.

But when Australia thought they had won the match, the Proteas’ skipper walked out at No. 11 with a bandage or plaster. He had taken injections in his elbow and painkillers as well as he hung on for dear life. Australia let go of a few chances, but with 10 balls remaining, Johnson snuck one past Smith to end a heroic 17-ball vigil.

Ian Bell injury took place during the England vs Bangladesh ODI series at Bristol in 2010. England were nine down for 227 chasing 237, with Jonathan Trott on 90.

Ian Bell braved the broken foot he had suffered while fielding and came in at No. 11. England needed 10 off the final over, and he did not face a single ball. 

After taking two twos off the first two balls, Trott edged one behind for 94, and England lost by five runs.

The 2014-15 series between Australia and South Africa saw the visitors winning the first Test but the hosts came back strongly in the next match. Michael Clarke went on to play arguably the finest knock of his career.

He endured a torrid spell of pace and bounce from Morne Morkel, and took repeated blows on the body but he remained unconquered on 161.

It was later revealed that Clarke had suffered from a broken shoulder, most likely while taking a blow from one of Morkel’s short balls.
