Star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has made great progress in his recuperation from the foot injury that prevented him from playing in the recent England tour. As per an ESPNCricinfo report, Pant has started to walk comfortably, and his foot is no longer in a cast. In the upcoming days, the 27-year-old is anticipated to travel to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Centre of Excellence, where he will start light training as a component of his recuperation. When Pant tried one of his signature reverse sweeps against Chris Woakes on the first day of the Old Trafford Test, he sustained the injury. He was later observed wearing a Controlled Ankle Motion (CAM) boot after the blow forced him from the field. He demonstrated his tenacity by going back to bat the next day and scoring a valiant half-century despite the setback. Dhruv Jurel was brought into the starting lineup to take over as wicketkeeper while Pant was out. Following Pant’s exclusion from the rest of the series, Jurel went on to play in the last Test. Pant had reportedly been aiming for a comeback during India’s upcoming home match, a two-Test series against the West Indies that starts on October 2, according to an earlier article. Ahmedabad will host the first game, while Delhi will host the second. Pant’s much-anticipated comeback in front of his home fans could occur during the Delhi Test if he is deemed healthy. Throughout his recuperation, Pant has been active on social media, providing fans with frequent updates that have reassured them of his development. His articles have demonstrated a resolute attitude as he strives to reach his peak fitness level again. Pant has established himself as one of India’s most significant players in the longest format of cricket since making his Test debut. He is a match-winner for the team because of his fearless batting, ability to counterattack under duress, and dependability behind the stumps. Ahead of a crucial red-ball cricket season, India will be hoping that Pant’s return would bring much-needed balance to the squad. The selectors and team management will keep a careful eye on his recuperation because he has a packed itinerary that includes the West Indies series.
