The 27-year-old injured his toe during the 68th over while attempting a reverse sweep to a yorker-length ball from Chris Woakes. The delivery took an inside edge and hit his toe. He removed his shoe and socks, and bleeding was evident from the wound. He was forced to be taken off the field on a golf cart.
The injury is a major setback for India, who trail 1-2 in the five-Test series and need a win in Manchester to stay alive. Pant has been one of India’s top performers on the tour, amassing 462 runs at an average of 66, including two centuries and two fifties.
Rishabh Pant Ruled Out of Fourth Test and Series Due to Fracture
According to a report by The Indian Express, scans have confirmed that Rishabh Pant has suffered a fracture, ruling him out for six weeks. With India one batter short for the remainder of the fourth Test, the medical team is assessing whether he can return to bat under painkillers.
“The scan report showed a fracture and he is ruled out for six weeks. The medical team is trying to see if he can come out to bat again by taking a pain killer. He still needs support to walk though and chances of his batting looks very bleak,” a BCCI source was quoted as saying by Indian Express.
Ishan Kishan Expected to Be Added to India’s Squad for Fifth Test
Dhruv Jurel will take over as the substitute wicketkeeper. However, as per the rules, he cannot bat, meaning India will continue the fourth Test with only ten available batters. Jurel, who also kept wickets during the Lord's Test, is likely to remain behind the stumps for the rest of the Manchester match.
Kishan last represented India in November 2023 during the T20I series against Australia. He has been absent from national duty since returning early from the South Africa tour due to personal reasons.
