Rishabh Pant’s performance in England vs India 2025 Test series
Rishabh Pant was appointed as the vice-captain of the Indian Test team for the England Tour. He gave an impressive performance in England with bat in the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
The left -handed batsman scored 479 runs in four tests at an impressive average of 68.42, including two centuries and three half -centuries. He recorded the record of former India captain MS Dhoni for hundreds of most tested by an Indian wicketkeeper-better.
In the third Test at Lord’s, the pants suffered a finger injury, and Dhruv Juril handled the wicketkeeping duties. He then suffered a toe injury while trying to reverse sweep from Chris Woakes during the fourth Test.
Jurall had to step into a backup. The pants were excluded from the fifth and final test in the oval, and Narayan Jagadisin of Tamil Nadu was added to the squad as a replacement wicketkeeper.
