In a display of exceptional courage and dedication, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant set a 'very high standard' for teammates by batting through a foot injury during the fourth Test against England in Manchester. Taking inspiration from Pant, fellow cricketer Karun Nair emphasized the impact of Pant's resilience on the team.

The intensely competitive series between India and England, known as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, ended in a 2-2 draw. However, one of the standout moments came with Pant's determination during the second day of the final Test, where, despite being injured, he made a notable contribution on the scoreboard.

Nair, who also played through pain during the final Test at The Oval, acknowledged Pant's influence in shaping his approach. Guided by head coach Gautam Gambhir's advice, Nair focused on building partnerships rather than personal milestones, an approach that proved crucial on challenging wickets.
