In a dramatic turn of events, Rishabh Pant has been sidelined from wicket-keeping duties after fracturing his toe during the ongoing fourth Test against England. Despite this setback, Pant remains available to bat, showcasing his determination and resilience.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) swiftly announced the inclusion of Tamil Nadu's N Jagadeesan as cover for Pant. While Pant's injury initially suggested a series-ending predicament, he amazed fans by stepping onto the field with a fractured foot, earning a standing ovation at Old Trafford.
Injuries have plagued the Indian lineup, with Pant's condition adding to the list. Scheduled to bat after Shardul Thakur's dismissal, Pant's unconventional playstyle continues to be an asset in the ongoing game, reinforcing his role as a game-changer for the Indian cricket team.
