Rishabh pant: Team India has currently visited England. A 5 -match Test series will be played between the two countries from 20 June. India last won the Test series in England in 2008. The Indian camp was then commanded by Rahul Dravid. But this time Shubman Gill is captaining Team India. This is his first assignment as an Indian captain. At the same time, star wicketkeeper batsman has been made vice -captain for this series. However, before the start of this series, Rishabh Pant has been in trouble in the playing eleven.
The recent time has not been very good for Team India’s wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant. His bat did not appear in color in IPL 2025. He definitely scored a stormy century in his last match of the season, but he flopped in the remaining matches.
Earlier, Rishabh had a big hand in the embarrassing defeat in Australia tour. He showed a disappointing performance in the initial 4 Tests of the 5 -match Border Gavaskar Trophy. He played a good inning of 40 and 61 runs in both innings of the last match, but by then India was fixed. In such a situation, now he can be replaced by a great player, who is scoring fiercely at this time.
This player will take place
Prior to the start of the England tour, India’s A team played 2 unofficial four -day matches against England Lions, showing a strong performance by young wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Juril. He missed out on a century in the first innings of the unofficial Test. The right -handed batsman scored 94 runs. At the same time, in the second innings, Jurael was not out after scoring 53 runs.
In the second unofficial Test, Dhruv Jurael maintained his glow. He also scored 52 runs in the first innings, while 28 runs in the second innings. In this way, he scored 227 runs in a total of 4 innings of this unofficial series at an excellent average of 75.6.
Who will get a chance in playing XI?
Both Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurael are wicketkeeper batsmen. But this does not mean that both of them cannot meet together in the playing eleven. Given Dhruv’s brilliant form, he can be fitted in the middle order as a batsman. However, this can clear the leaf of players like Sarfaraz Khan and Karun Nair.
