1st Test: Pant To Not Keep Wickets On Day 3 After Being Hit On Right Knee
The BCCI Medical Team: India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant will not be taking up wicketkeeping duties on day three of the first Test against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
In the last session of day two’s play, a grimacing Pant hobbled off the field after being hit on his right knee by Ravindra Jadeja's sharp turning in delivery while trying to effect a stumping of Devon Conway in the 37th over of New Zealand’s first innings. In his absence, substitute keeper Dhruv Jurel has been taking up keeping duties for India.
Pant was operated on the right knee after suffering a life-threatening car crash in December 2022, before making a comeback to competitive cricket in IPL 2024. “Rishabh Pant will not keep wickets on Day 3 of first Test between India and New Zealand. The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring his progress,” said an update from the BCCI on Friday.
