Indian wicket-keeper Rashah Pant is running against time to achieve fitness and ends his recovery phase to provide himself for the selection of the team before the West Indies Test tour, which is scheduled to begin on October 2.
The Indian team has been invincible in all three formats of the game in recent years, and their performance in the ICC tournament has been unmatched. However, a concern that often collides with BCCI, head coaches and national selectors has injuries to their players.
One of the two names that is often associated with the concerns of injury is Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah and wicket-keeper Batter Rishabh Pant. Both these players have been the two most valuable assets for men in blue, but often missed major opportunities due to injuries.

Rishabh Pant starts fast recovery before the West Indies series
The Indian star was last seen playing in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England. Pant was seen as a cruel force for the new Indian side in the middle order. He played only 7 innings in 4 matches and scored 479 runs at an average of 68.43.
During the fourth test of the series at Old Trafford, the pants were given a tough fight on their right leg as they attempted a audacious reverse sweep against Chris Woakes. After the hit, he had to be taken out of the field and was reported to have fracture in his right leg.
Post this trauma, he is eagerly rehabilitating for India to make his comeback. Currently, the upcoming home test series against the West Indies has increased the request to re -acquire his fitness. The team is expected to be selected before the Asia Cup ends.
TOI report claims
Rishabh Pant has long removed his plaster and has been rehabilitating since then; However, he has not yet received any positive signs from the BCCI’s Center of Excellence. Despite consulting several experts in Mumbai, Pant’s recovery before October seems difficult.
A reliable source told TOI, “He is targeting a return for the series against the West Indies, but it seems that it is not possible. Even though he is trying his best, but his return to the West Indies series is 50:50,” a trusted source told TOI.
“The more realistic possibility is that he will return to action against Australia with a white-ball series, which will kick with the first ODI in Perth on October 19. Pant’s injured leg is still stuck. It will take two weeks before starting batting in the net.”
Rishabh Pant’s brave conduct is the reason behind his late recovery
After the incident, Rishabh Pant was receiving help overnight and then came out to bat in the middle with a fragmented leg. The batsman scored a half -century and was praised for his bravery; However, the audacity seems to have affected her injury more.
A source said, “Usually, it takes six weeks and one and two weeks to regain fitness to heal these fractures. If you do not get an opportunity to rest immediately (plaster or splints) and run on it, it will delay the recovery a bit.”
