Jagadeesan to Replace Injured Pant in 5th Test vs England
Rishabh Pant, a key player for India, got hurt during a cricket match.
He might not be able to play the rest of the series.
At first, they thought Ishan Kishan could replace him, but he's also injured.
So, they've chosen Narayan Jagadeesan as a replacement, who has played in the IPL.
However, another player, Dhruv Jurel, is likely to play in Pant's position in the upcoming match.
Rishabh Pant may be out of the series due to an injury sustained during the fourth Test.
