In fact, on the first day of the fourth Test played in Manchester, Pant suffered a serious leg injury while playing a reverse sweep on the Yorker of Chris Woakes. However, Pant did not give up and came out to bat the next day. He played an important innings of 53 runs but could not do wicketkeeping. Dhruv Jurael took responsibility in his place.
After the match was over, the BCCI officially announced that Pant would not be able to play the last Test. Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper Narayan Jagdishan has been replaced in his team. This series has been excellent for Pant. He has scored 479 runs in 7 innings at an average of 68.42 and also scored two centuries in the Handingley Test.
At the same time, in this match being played from today i.e. on Thursday, July 31, on the Oval Test, India has to make three changes in the team due to the workload of Jasprit Bumrah and the injury of Rishabh Pant. Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur and Jaspreet Bumrah have been replaced by Dhruv Jurael, Karun Nair and the famous Krishna. Team India has tried to strengthen batting in view of England’s green pitch and overcast condition.

India: Shubman Gill (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurael (wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, Mohammad Siraj, Akashdeep, famous Krishna.
