IND Vs Eng 4th Test 2025: Now it will be seen whether Pant will be able to get India equal on the back of his wicket and a bang with the bat.
IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025: The ongoing Test series between India and England has come at a decisive turn. England are ahead 2–1 in the 5-match series, and the fourth Test is going to prove to be a ‘do or die’ for the Indian team. Meanwhile, this was the biggest question between fans and team management, will Rishabh Pant do wicketkeeping in the fourth Test? Now the answer to this question has come out, and that too with a viral video.
Rishabh Pant was injured in the third Test
On the first day of the third Test, Rishabh Pant suffered a finger injury, due to which he went out of the field. In that match, Dhruv Juril played the responsibility of wicketkeeping. Although Pant did batting, but he did not look perfectly fit. In such a situation, there was confusion about his role in the fourth Test.
Video cleaned the picture

Recently, in a video revealed from Manchester, Rishabh Pant was seen practicing wicketkeeping. He practiced behind the wicket for a long time and did not see any discomfort anywhere. This video has brought a big relief for Team India, because it is indicating that Pant may take the field as a wicketkeeper in the fourth Test.
Shown in batting too
Pant has batted brilliantly in this series so far. He scored a century (134 and 118 runs) in both innings of the first Test. In the second Test, he played useful innings of 25 and 65 runs. Despite injuries in the third Test, he scored 74 runs in the first innings, while in the second innings he was dismissed for 9 runs. His form can prove to be a very big weapon for the team.
The fourth Test is the last chance for India
Currently, England is ahead 2–1 in the series. England won in the first Test, the second India won, and England dominated the third. Now if India loses in the fourth Test, then it will be out of the series. At the same time, India can equal the score 2-2 on winning and can take the thrill of the series to the final match.
Team India’s injured playing xi
The Indian team is currently struggling with many injured players. Nitish Kumar Reddy is out of the entire series, Arshdeep Singh will also not play in the fourth Test. In such a situation, Rishabh Pant’s fit and available for wicketkeeping is very important for the team’s strategy.
After the video surfaced while practicing Rishabh Pant, it is almost certain that he will be seen doing wicketkeeping in the fourth Test. His presence will not only improve the balance of the team, but a big concern of Gill and team management has also gone away. Now it will be seen whether Pant will be able to get India equal on the strength of the agility behind his wicket and a bang with the bat.
