The day of the prestigious Lord’s testing between India and England may have gone in both ways, as the England batsmen shared a significant partnership, while India’s bowlers banned them from making a huge score in important moments.
However, both teams are facing fear of big injuries on the field with their marquee players. England captain Ben Stokes also seemed as if he was later struggling on day 1 as the physio came out to investigate him.
However, the major concern has been for the Indian side, who sweated Rishabh Pant’s finger injury. The pants are currently one of the most experienced batsmen in India in England, and his services as a batsman, citing Lord’s pitch, will greatly need his services for Bagi Blue.

Rishabh Pant injury that took him away from the ground at Lord’s
There could be a mixed day in India with some ups and downs; However, he suffered his biggest shock, when Jasprit Bumrah bowled a detailed ball in the 34th over of the game. India’s vice-captain and wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant captured his left to his left to stop the ball.
Pant injured his finger in an attempt to stop the ball. He looked into sheer inconvenience before receiving treatment from on-field physio. After the initial treatment, the pants continued the wicket, but left the ground after two overs.
He was then told under the supervision of the medical team, as suggested by BCCI officials. When Pant went out of the ground, it was replaced by the young Dhruv Jurael, who did a good job behind the stump.

Although he mentioned that a better picture could be obtained after the swelling is reduced, yet, what points can be seen towards the possible return of Rishabh Pant in the day 2 -day area. After watching him overnight, the Indian side must be deciding whether Rishabh Pant Maidan or Dhruv Jurlel has to act as his deputy.
However, if any concern is felt, India is likely to prioritize pants as a batsman, and hence Jurlel may continue as a wicket-keeper.
Can Dhruv Jurael bat in Lord if Pant is unable to take the ground?
Dhruv Juraral was brought to England as a keeper-batsman; However, they have not been given a chance yet. Pant’s injury brought him to the ground as he took a surprising reflex of Oli Pope with Jadeja’s bowling.
Although Zural may continue as a wicket-keeper. If Pant is unable to return, he is not allowed to bat according to the laws of the game. The option is allowed to take a fielding position only after holding wickets or after permission from umpires; However, they cannot bat or bowl for the team. The possibility comes only when a player named in 11 suffers from an injury.
