Rishabh Pant injury update: Set to begin training at BCCI Centre of Excellence

Rishabh Pant’s foot was earlier in a cast, but it has been learnt now that he is now walking comfortably, and is no longer wearing the cast. With Pant being India’s first-choice wicketkeeper-batter in the Test format, and will be of great significance during the upcoming two-match home series against West Indies (October 2-6 and October 10-14).

Rishabh pant was injured on the first day of the Old Trafford Test while he was attempting a sweep shot against Chris Woakes. However, the ball edged the inside of the bat and hit his right foot. Pant was retired hurt and was taken off the field on an emergency vehicle. However, he came to bat on the very next day and even went on to add 54 valuable runs to the team total.

In place of Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel kept the wickets in the game in both the innings of England. Even though he was available to bat if needed in India’s second innings, there was no need for it as Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar scored centuries in order to save the match- keeping the series 2-1 in England’s favour. India then won the final match and levelled the series 2-2.
