Rishabh Pant’s injury brings Dhruv Jurlel into the headlines
Pants, which have been an important contributor to India with both bat and gloves in this series, injured their finger by collecting a delivery during the post -lunch session. Although there was no major concern with the scan, the team management decided to rest for the remaining day.

While appearing on the Sky Sports Broadcast, Karthik provided a practical analysis of Jurael’s better glovework. “Jurael stays lower and closer to keep your pads compared to pants,” Karthik said, saying that the young man’s position gave him a more stable basis.

The analysis suggested that Jural’s classical technology gives him an edge in wicketkeeping on a greater fiery pants.

Cast the shadow as pants behind the chance stump of omission
Although Pant has played an important role with the bat and has influenced significant dismissal in earlier tests, his work behind the stump has not been innocent. He has dropped several catches in the series, which raised questions about continuity in his gloves – unlike Jurael’s assurance and textbook style, as seen in Lords.
