Rishabh Pant had been injured during the first Test match against New Zealand, and Dhruv Jurel had taken his place behind the stumps as a substitute wicket-keeper.
Rishabh Pant, who suffered a knee injury that kept him out of the first Test match against New Zealand in Bengaluru, is almost certain to play for India in the second match in Pune. In an interview with the media prior to the second Test of the series, India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate stated that while Pant’s participation in the game isn’t guaranteed, he is on track to make the starting lineup. Dhruv Jurel was proposed as Pant’s replacement behind the stumps for the game. However, despite the current injury, it appears like the southpaw will be selected.
Yes, everyone seems to be doing great. The first Test didn’t have a lot of bowling, so the fast bowlers are all in good form. Rishabh does a decent job. I believe Rohit mentioned that the other day. At the end of his knee’s range of motion, he was experiencing some discomfort. Ten Doeschate, however, expressed hope that he will be healthy enough to be retained for the Test as well.
Prior to this, India skipper Rohit also mentioned Pant’s injury in Bengaluru.”We just need to exercise a little caution regarding his whereabouts and his relationship to us. He was uncomfortable running, even when he was batting. He merely intended to place the ball in the stands. Once more, though, we just must exercise additional caution when dealing with someone like him because he has undergone numerous minor procedures, including a major knee operation. To be honest, he has experienced a great deal of trauma during the past 1.5 years. After losing by eight wickets in the first Test, Rohit stated in the press conference following the game that “it’s just about being extra careful.”As a result, you must bend every ball while keeping your knee down. And given the wicket, we felt that he should remain indoors and then prepare himself fully for the following one,” he continued.
On October 24, the second Test will start.
