India has played four matches so far in the ongoing series against England and is trailing by a margin of 2-1. With the draw in the Manchester Test, India has ended their chances of winning the series any further; however, they would still have to manage a win in the last Test at The Oval to draw the series and share the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with England.
Rishabh Pant recovered from a huge injury that ruled him out of the field for almost a year and a half after his scary accident back in 2022. However, in this second innings of his career, Pant has shown unstoppable form.
Pant suffered a blow in the third Test as well, where he was ruled out after a finger injury while keeping against Jasprit Bumrah early in the game. Despite Pant being substituted as a wicket-keeper, he returned with the bat and scored a decent 74 runs.
Pant was immediately seen struggling with the blow and called in the physio, and was later carried out in a golf cart after the physios saw bleeding from the zone of injury. He did not bat any further on that day, and BCCI claimed he was ruled out for the remainder of the series.

After the scans confirmed Rishabh Pant's injury to be a fracture to his foot, he was ruled out of the fifth Test, and the Indian side was immediately in search of a replacement, though they had Dhruv Jurel as a backup wicket-keeper in the squad.
After this, the BCCI's selection committee named Narayan Jagadeesan as the replacement for Pant. The fifth Test begins on the 31st of August at The Kennington Oval.
