In the fourth Test match against England, India’s star Rishabh Pant displayed a strong heart by going out to bat despite having a fractured toe. During the first innings of the Old Trafford Test, a ball from Chris Woakes struck the wicketkeeper-batter’s right leg, seriously injuring his toe. Since the Indians managed to attain a good first innings total, his time at the crease proved to be essential.
The star cricketer will not play in the fifth Test, which will decide the series, and Narayan Jagadeesan will take his place. Rishabh Pant has now expressed gratitude to his supporters and well-wishers on his official social media account for their worry and care for his injuries. He will shortly begin his recuperation after taking a plane home. Additionally, the Haridwar native stated that he is keen to get back to playing international cricket as soon as possible.
“Thank you for all of your kind wishes and affection. It has truly been a source of support. After my fracture heals, I’ll start rehab, and I’m gradually getting used to it. remaining patient, adhering to the procedures, and putting my all into it. The proudest moment of my life has always been playing for my nation. “I’m eager to resume my passion,” he stated in his X post.

During India’s current England tour, Rishabh Pant proved a formidable opponent.
He will have to finish the trip with 479 runs from seven innings at an incredible average of 68.42 after his regrettable dismissal. With 722 and 511 runs in the series, respectively, Pant is currently just behind his captain Shubman Gill and KL Rahul. With two hundred and three half-centuries, Pant will leave the trip. With any luck, he will return for the next red-ball assignment for the Indian side.
What date is India’s next Test match?
Fans of Test cricket will have to wait a few more months once the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 is over before the Baggy Blues return to action. They will be hosting a two-match Test series against the West Indies in October of this year, with matches set in Ahmedabad and New Delhi, respectively. India will also compete in the Asia Cup, which is set for September, in between.
