The injury is an important setback for India, which made a 1-2 in the five-tested series and needs a victory in Manchester to stay alive. Pant has been one of the best performers in India on the tour, accumulating 462 runs at an average of 66, including two centuries and two years.

The BCCI medical team is currently monitoring its condition, but no official update has been released on the seriousness of the injury. It is not yet clear if Pant will continue in the game or play in the final test. India ended the day on 264/4, with Ravindra Jadja (19) and Shardul Thakur (19) in the Plec.

Rishabh Pant ruled out the fourth test and series due to fracture

According to a report from The Indian Express, explorations have confirmed that Ris Hurbh Pant has suffered a fracture, discarding it for six weeks. With India a short batter for the rest of the fourth test, the medical team is evaluating if he can return to the bat under painkillers.

However, their chances of returning to the fold seem thin. While the team explores options to get back, Pant continues to struggle to walk without help, which makes a return unlikely.

“The exploration report showed a fracture and is ruled out for six weeks. The medical team is trying to see if it can go out again by taking a pain killer. It still needs support for walking and its struggle is likely to seem very bleak,” said a BCCI source that said Indian Express.

Ishan Kishan hoped to add -in India’s squad for the fifth test

With Rishab Pant, it was ruled out by injuries, Ishan Kishan is expected to be added to the India squad for the fifth test at the Oval, scheduled from July 31 to August 4.

DHRUV JUREL will take over as a substitute Wicketkeper. However, according to the rules, it cannot be beat, that is, India will continue the fourth test with only ten batteders available. Jury, who also kept the doctors during the Lord’s test, is likely to remain behind the collision over the rest of Manchester’s party.

Currently, Jurrel is the leading candidate to replace Pant in XI interpretation, according to Dainik Jagran. Kishan was part of India a tour of England, but did not participate in any of the four -day games, with joy playing both games.

Kishan last represented India in November 2023 during the T20I series against Australia. It has been absent from the national duty since he returned to the Tour of South -Africa for personal reasons.
