England took the lead in the ongoing Test series against India with a win at Lord’s. India may fail to win the Lord’s Test, but many players contributed significantly to the team’s limited success.
One of the players who enjoyed playing in England is India’s dynamic wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant. The pants have shown some amazing looks in England, and if he does not play in the fourth test in Manchester, the British will get relief.
However, the concern for India was Rishabh Pant’s initial injury in the game. Pant hit the ball, which injured his fingers at the beginning of 1 day, resulting in he had to leave the field, and Dhruv Jurlel was called his option.

Ravi Shastri left an update on Rishabh Pant’s injury
Rishabh Pant was seen batting in the Lord’s test as he took the ground as a batsman in both innings; However, he never showed any interest in taking wickets in the game. Pants batted surprisingly for their 74 before being dismissed in the first innings, but despite this, Dhruv Juril also took wickets in the second innings.
The video of former Indian coach Ravi Shastri has gone viral on the Internet, where he explains his views on pants injury and his availability in Manchester.
Shastri refused to approve the proposal that Rishabh Pant could be played as an expert batsman; This is because under such a scenario, he will have to take the field for most sports, thus an increase in the capacity of further sting, which can spoil his injury.
Although he quoted that if it is not a break or fracture, the difference of 8-9 days is good to overcome his injury.
“I don’t think he should go as an expert batsman if he cannot keep it because he does not have to do the farm. If he does the farm, it would be worse. With gloves, at least something is safety. Without gloves, if he finds something that stings there, it will not be very good. It would only hurt.”
“You have got to see if it’s a break. If it is a break or fracture, it rests it and fits it completely on the oval. She will no longer get any option.
Who can replace Rishabh Pant in Manchester?
If Rishabh Pant is seen as an expert batsman, KL Rahul will have to handle with gloves in Manchester. As he was earlier injured and still takes the field in a new game, he will not be given any further option.
Now, if the pants are excluded from the upcoming game – no update has yet been made on his injury situation – then Dhruv Jurlel can be quoted as the player who can turn him to the game 11.
Already, Karun Nair is being dropped, and any person will replace him in 11 playing in Manchester amidst either Sai Sudarshan or Abhimanyu Ezavaran.
Pants have scored a record-breaking run in England
The ongoing series between India and England has a record-breaking run of pants. He has scored 425 runs in 6 innings played for India so far.
Rishabh Pant started in the first innings with hundreds of twin at Headingley, both lost for reasons for India. The Birmingham Test did not go much in his favor, although he scored another half -century and then supported himself with another half -century in the third match.
It currently is 70.83 average and is the third highest strike rate in a series of 78.41.
