Rishabh Rajendra Pant

BCCI released an official statement confirming the same on Sunday morning and named Dhruv Jurel as the replacement.

It could be a big blow to the team if Rishabh Pant is ruled injured and sits out of the three-match series beginning on Sunday.

Rishabh Pant's shot selection in the recent lost Guwahati Test against South Africa neither impressed the head coach nor the selection committee.

While the selectors announced the T20I squad for the New Zealand series and the World Cup, they did not name the ODI squad. It is expected that the squad will be announced in the first week of January.

For Jurel, it was a personal milestone—his maiden List A century—and another emphatic statement in a run of form that’s impossible to overlook.

India's Rishabh Pant was last seen in an ODI on the 7th of August, 2024, against Sri Lanka in Colombo.

The 36-year-old has made a significant impact every time he has been on the field since his debut in Test cricket.

Rishabh Pant has frequently been accused of playing careless strokes and throwing his wickets away.

Apart from Pant and Kohli, even pacer Harshit Rana, veterans Ishant Sharma and Navdeep Saini have also expressed their willingness to play in the tournament.

The moment quickly went viral on social media, with fans saluting the bond between the two stars of Indian cricket.

The moment speaks about the bond Virat Kohli shares with MS Dhoni.

With the aid of one six, Rishabh Pant scored seven in his stay in the middle which was limited to eight balls.

According to reliable BCCI sources, Gill’s injury isn’t limited to neck spasm and will require extensive rest, prompting the team management to avoid any risk of rushing him back.

This match could well be about Rishabh Pant. About him making a statement and elevating himself into the echelons of greats who have played the game.

Pant hit his 92nd six in Tests during his 83rd innings, thereby going beyond Sehwag's record of 91 for the longest time.

Dhruv Jurel scored his first century in Ahmedabad during the home Test series against the West Indies.

Pant was batting on 17 runs off 22 balls when he decided to go back to the pavilion and Dhruv Jurel went out to bat for the home team.

India squad for South Africa Tests announced: The two-match series starts from November 14 at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

The way Rishabh Pant batted in the second innings and kept for 139.3 overs in the match might have come as a pleasant portend for selectors ahead of naming the senior squad for the two-match Test series against South Africa later this month.

Pant has been receiving treatment at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru after suffering a foot injury during the fourth Test match against England in July.
