Rishabh Pant comienza a rehabilitación con la Copa Asia regresa en las cartas

Rishabh Pant has provided an update. After being ruled out the India vs England Test series owing to a foot injury, the wicketkeeper batter has shared that he’ll start his rehabilitation once his fracture completely heals.

Pant had hurt himself while batting on the first day of the Manchester Test. While attempting an reverse sweep, the ball took an edge from Pant’s bat and smashed into his right root. The Indian Test vice-captain had to be wheeled out, and didn’t wicketkeep for the remainder of the match.

However, when India needed his service on the second day, Pant limped out on one leg. Not only he did complete his half-century after being stuck on 37, he ensured India crossed the 350-run mark. His contribution helped India draw the fourth match and stay alive in the series.

Pant needed crutches to walk but was adamant to bat. And if need be, he would have come out in the second innings as well. It’s expected that he’ll need about one and a half month to recover. He can’t contribute in the India vs England Test series and Dhruv Jurel will take over the wicketkeeping duties for the last match.

“Appreciate all the love and good wishes coming my way. It’s been a real source of strength. I will begin rehab once my fracture heals and I am slowly settling into the process. Staying patient, following the routines and giving it my 100%. Playing for the country has always been the proudest moment of my life. Can’t wait to be back doing what I love,” Pant wrote on his social media.
