The fourth Test match between india and england is set to begin tomorrow in Manchester amidst much excitement and anticipation. With the completion of three matches, england is leading by two to one. Due to this, the indian team is in a crisis of having to win the fourth Test match and keep the series alive. At this moment, India's star player rishabh pant is currently in a big headache for coach Gambhir. Anderson Tendulkar has played three matches in the ongoing series. In this, he has scored a total of 425 runs. This includes two centuries and two half-centuries. His average is 70, and his strike rate is 78. In this situation, rishabh pant injured his hand while doing the wicketkeeping job in the third Test match. Due to this, he only batted. dhruva Jural was doing the wicketkeeping job. In that match, pant had scored 74 runs in the first innings and 9 runs in the second innings. There was a gap of nine days between the third and fourth Test matches. Fans believed that Pant's injury would have healed during this time. At this time, pant was currently engaged in wicketkeeping training to prepare for the Manchester match.
Only 60 runs are needed, but there is confusion as to whether he has reached 100 percent full physical fitness or not. Due to this, there is an idea that pant can be included as a mere batsman. But the question has also arisen as to how someone with an injured hand can bat on the field without gloves. Now that it is known that pant is already injured, he will not get a chance to keep even a substitute wicket in this match. If pant plays as a mere batsman in this match, then dhruv Jural will have to be included in the team in his place. In such a situation, there is also confusion as to who will replace dhruv Jural in which position. Should Karun Nair be given a place for this? Or should he be added to the lower order instead of nitish kumar Reddy? Due to this, Gambhir is confused and does not know what to do.
