Rishabh Rajendra Pant

The report mentioned that Ishan Kishan met with an accident and has a plaster on his left ankle.

On Day 1, Pant had become the first wicketkeeper to score over 1000 Test runs in a single away country.

Five instances where Indian cricketers defied the odds, and considerable pain, to continue playing in Test matches.

Rishabh Pant had sustained the toe injury on Day 1 when he attempted a reverse sweep against Chris Woakes.

Ishan Kishan was initially considered by the team management and selectors as a potential replacement. However the 27-year-old is unavailable due to an ankle injury sustained in an accident.

The BCCI confirmed that Pant has rejoined the team on Day 2 and will be available to bat, providing a timely boost to India’s middle order.

For India, losing Pant—who has been in outstanding form with two centuries and two fifties already—is a significant blow.

Rishabh Pant's injury may leave India with one less batter and even if Dhruv Jurel dons the wicketkeeping gloves, as seen in the previous match, he won't be allowed to bat.

Ishan Kishan will be added in the squad, replacing Rishabh Pant for the final match of the series that starts from July 31 at The Oval.

Rishabh Pant was barely able to stand on his foot and had to leave the field in a golf cart.

The incident occurred in the 68th over of India’s innings when Pant, known for his fearless and often unorthodox shot-making, attempted a premeditated reverse sweep against Chris Woakes.

While Pant's fearless approach has won admiration, former India wicketkeeper Farokh Engineer has issued a word of caution.

Archer uttered a few words and gave the wicketkeeper-batter a fiery send-off when he removed Rishabh Pant.

Rishabh Pant tried to steal an unnecessary single right at the stroke of Lunch but was rocked by Ben Stokes' excellence on the field.

The wicketkeeper-batter had suffered a blow to his index finger during the opening day’s play.

The big news is that if Rishabh Pant fails to recover on time, India would have to respond to England's first innings total with one less batter.

When Rishabh Pant finally climbed up into the dressing room, head coach Gautam Gambhir left his seat on the balcony and rushed to check the wicketkeeper.

Ben Stokes and Co. will also be wary of India's record at Lord's, where they have more wins (three) than any other venue in England.
