Rishabh Pant out for 6 weeks!
A BCCI source told Express Sports that Rishabh Pant has been advised to stay away from cricket for 6 weeks. This directly means that it is out. According to the report, Pant cannot run without support. The scan report shows fractures and it is out for 6 weeks, the report said. The medical team is investigating whether it will be able to return to the bat after taking painkillers. He still needs medical support for a walk and the possibility of his bat seems almost zero.
Will Ishaan Kishan enter the fifth Test?
Due to Rishabh Pant’s injury, the possibility of Ishaan Kishan’s Test team has now increased. Ishaan is currently playing county cricket for Nottinghamshire and his performance has been good.
