Pant was involved in a horrific car accident in December of last year and is still in the hospital after undergoing multiple surgeries on his knee and heel.
Former captain Ian Chappell believes Rishabh Pant’s presence would have given Australia captain Pat Cummins sleepless nights, but even so, India will start as firm favourites in the upcoming four-match Test series, which begins on Thursday in Nagpur. Pant was involved in a horrific car accident in December of last year and is still in the hospital after undergoing multiple surgeries on his knee and heel.
“Rishabh Pant will be sorely missed in India. The Australians will be overjoyed. He is a counter-attacker, the type of player who scores quickly and changes the game in a single session. Pant was one of these players “Chappell spoke at an event hosted by the official broadcaster of the Border Gavaskar Trophy Test Series.
