Ahead of India’s ODI series against England starting in Nagpur on Thursday, the hosts’ need to decide who between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant is their first-choice wicketkeeper-batter.
Rohit, Jaiswal, Gill, Pant fall for single digits capping gloomy comeback to domestic cricket.
Rishabh Pant was on Monday unveiled as the new captain of the Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League 2025, that starts March 21 and runs till May 25.
Rishabh Pant has been included in Delhi’s squad for its upcoming Ranji Trophy games, whilst Virat Kohli’s name is missing from the 21-member playing list issued by the DDCA on Saturday.
Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has confirmed his availability to feature in Delhi’s next Ranji Trophy match against Saurashtra in Rajkot, even as the Delhi and District Cricket Association awaits a word from former India skipper Virat Kohli.
DDCA director Shyam Sharma on Saturday flagged concerns over visitors flocking to the hospital to catch a glimpse of the cricketer, Rishabh Pant, who is under treatment.
"If Rishabh would have been there, he could have made a huge impact. But now, let's wait and see what the future holds for us," said Pandya.
Rishabh could have easily kept a driver which could have helped him avert the mishap. This was what Kapil Dev said when a news channel asked for his comment on the road accident where the cricketer sustained injury.
Injured India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant has been shifted to a private suite from the ICU due to a high risk of catching infection, said Shyam Sharma, DDCA Director.
Rishabh has two cuts on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee and has also hurt his right wrist, ankle, toe and has suffered abrasion injuries on his back, said BCCI in a statement.
