Rishabh Pant Scores 63 Amid Injury Concerns, Misses Wicketkeeping in Second Test
Rishabh Pant scored a resilient 63 runs in the second Test against Sri Lanka despite sustaining multiple blows and retiring hurt during his innings. He did not perform wicketkeeping duties, with Dhruv Jurel taking over, as Pant was later seen wearing a sling due to a badly bruised shoulder. India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel confirmed Pant’s injury severity and said he would be assessed overnight. Pant’s fitness remains uncertain, with the team hoping for his return behind the stumps given his experience.
