Fans were given a scare on Day 1 of the India vs England Test match at Lord’s when wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant injured his finger while attempting a stop behind the stumps. Concerns around his availability for the remainder of the match have been swirling ever since.

Pant Spotted at Lord’s, But Injury Concerns Remain

While Pant was seen at Lord’s on Day 2, his discomfort during batting practice has raised questions about his ability to play. He appeared to be struggling with the injury, suggesting that backup wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel may need to continue his duties behind the stumps.

Dhruv Jurel Likely to Continue as Wicketkeeper

The latest updates from the Indian camp indicate that Pant’s injured finger continues to bother him. Following treatment and observation by the medical team and coaches, it seems increasingly likely that Dhruv Jurel will retain his position as wicketkeeper for the time being.
