Rishabh Pant, the Indian wicket-keeper, has been the most injury-prone for India in the ongoing series. The wicket-keeper, due to a blow to his finger, did not keep wickets throughout most of the first innings and the entire second innings in the third Test at Lord's.
Now in the fourth Test, India has suffered an even bigger blow, as Rishabh Pant has now been completely ruled out of the remainder of the England series with the injury he sustained during Day 1's play at Old Trafford.
This is the second straight match the batter has sustained an injury and had to leave the field. Though he was available as a batter in the Lord's Test, this time the scenario is worsened by his total absence from the remaining four days in the match.
Dhruv Jurel to replace Rishabh Pant with the gloves; India come down to 10 batters
Just like the injury in the Lord's Test ruled Pant out of the field, and he was replaced by Dhruv Jurel in a wicket-keeping role, this time around as well, Jurel will be used for similar services by India.
However, as per the rules of the ICC, Pant cannot be replaced as a batter except for a concussion injury, which means Jurel cannot bat in exchange for Rishabh. This means that India will have to play the remainder of this Test match with 9 wickets, that is, 10 batters.
The official replacement batter for India can come in to bat from the Fifth Test at The Oval.
