1 day of the game, he suffered a leg injury and retired injury. It was later revealed that the wicketkeeper-batsman fractured his leg and would not be able to keep the wicket in the remaining part of the game.
However, the BCCI announced that pants would only walk to bat, if needed and Dhruv Jurlel would donate gloves for the rest of the match.
Pant arrived in the middle of 2 days after Shardul Thakur’s dismissal in the 102nd over. After batting, he was in significant pain and struggling to run.
However, he demonstrated great bravery and broke a tremendous fifty. The pants scored 54 off 75 balls, with three fours and two sixes, before Joffra Archer uprooted his off-stump.
The terrible knock of wicketkeeper-batsman helped him cross Rohit Sharma and become India’s major run-songs in the World Test Championship history. He also broke the test record of MS Dhoni for the highest score of more than 50 in a test series for an Indian wicketkeeper and scores more than 50 by wicketkeeper-batman who made a tour by a wicketkeeper-batsman in the army.
