Main point:
In the absence of Pant, now another player will be brought into the team as a replacement, but according to the rules that player will only be able to field, not batting.
Delhi: On the very first day of the Manchester Test match, Team India got a big shock, when star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant not only went out of the field, but now he is also out of the entire Test series. Pant suffered the injury to England fast bowler Chris Woakes, when he was trying to play reverse sweep.
Left the ground groaning with pain
The ball hit his leg and at the same time he complained of serious pain. The pain was so severe that he was immediately taken out of the field with the help of golf cart. He did not return to the field again after the injury and is now officially out of this series.
Who will fill Rishabh Pant?
Being out of Pant, now Team India will miss not only the wicketkeeper, but also a trusted batsman. In the absence of Pant, now another player will be brought into the team as a replacement, but according to the rules that player will only be able to field, not batting.
What does ICC rule say?
According to the ICC, if a player suffers head injury and a connection (shocking head injury), then a new player can come and bat in his place. However, in case of injury to any other part of the body, the replacement player is allowed only fielding, not batting.
Dhruv Jurael can get a chance
In such a situation, young wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurlel can be included in the team. He can do wicketkeeping instead of Rishabh Pant, but will not be able to bat. This means that the Indian team will now land on the field with only 10 batsmen in both innings of this Test match, and the innings will be considered over only after falling 9 wickets.
How did the incident happen?
The injury occurred in the last session of the first day, when Pant was trying to play reverse sweep. The ball hit his shoes and he immediately felt pain. After this, he left the ground and went out and could not return.
Now it has to be seen how the team management deal with this challenge and whether any young player is able to take advantage of this opportunity.
