Jagadeesan Called Up as Pant Cover for England Test
In a cricket match between India and England, India's wicketkeeper, Rishabh Pant, got hurt and had to stop playing.
Doctors think he might have broken his toe.
The team needed to find someone else to play in his place.
Initially, Ishan Kishan was considered but he also got hurt.
So, the team called up N Jagadeesan to help out.
The game is still going on, and everyone is watching to see how Pant is doing and if he will be able to bat again.
The next day of the game will start early, and it's expected to be exciting!
