Rishabh Pant Scores 63 but Misses Wicketkeeping Due to Injury Concerns
During the second Test against Sri Lanka, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant scored a resilient 63 despite taking multiple blows and retiring hurt temporarily. Pant did not perform his usual wicketkeeping duties, with Dhruv Jurel replacing him behind the stumps. He was later seen wearing a sling on his arm near the dugout, raising concerns about the severity of his injury. The exact nature and extent of Pant's fitness issues remain unclear as India monitors his condition.
