Rishabh Pant is out of England tour due to fracture in toe. Pant’s exit is a big tension for Team India, which is backward in the series.
Rishabh Pant Ruled Out from England Series: Team India, who is already lagging behind in the Test series in England, has suffered a major setback. Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has been out of England series due to fracture in toe. Rishabh Pant was injured while batting on the first day of the fourth Test on Wednesday. With the absence of Pant, the guests may increase the difficulties of the Indian team because now the team will have to find their strong option. On Wednesday, 27 -year -old Pant, England fast bowler Chris Woakes tried to reverse the right leg in an attempt to reverse the right leg and went for a scan.
Who will replace Pant?
A BCCI source told the news agency PTI, “He has been out for the next six weeks. Ishaan Kishan will be called as a cover.” It is important that Indian all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has already been out of the series due to knee problem, while fast bowlers Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh are also out of the current match due to back pain and finger injury. Blood was seen leaking from Pant’s right leg and there was a lot of swelling in the affected part.
Will Ishaan Kishan be effective?
Ishaan Kishan, who has recently played two county matches for Nottinghamshire, was also part of the India A team playing against England Lions before the Test series, although the 26 -year -old player of X did not play in any of both matches. Think tank can also ask KL Rahul to do wicketkeeping, but he has not played this role since the tour of South Africa in the 2023-24 season. The team’s second wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurlel was not selected for the current match. This was Rishabh Pant’s second injury in this series as he suffered a finger injury while keeping during the third Test at Lord’s, due to which he could not do wicketkeeping in England’s second innings. This fiery player returned to international cricket last year after escaping from a deadly car accident in 2022. Team India had landed on the field with the intention of avenge the defeat of Lord’s and finding the equipment of the series, but apparently his expectations have been shocked by being out of Pant.
