Pant Benched Due to Toe Fracture; Jagadeesan Likely Replacement
Rishabh Pant, the Indian cricket team's vice-captain, hurt his toe during a match.
He can't keep wickets anymore, so another player named Dhruv Jurel will do it instead.
Pant will still bat if the team needs him.
Another player, Ishan Kishan, was thought of as a replacement, but he's also hurt.
Now, the team might bring in N Jagadeesan to take Pant's place in the next game.
Rishabh Pant is benched from wicket-keeping in the Manchester Test due to a fractured toe.
Dhruv Jurel will replace Pant as wicketkeeper for the remainder of the match.
Pant was injured on Day 1 while attempting a reverse-sweep.
Ishan Kishan is unavailable for selection as a replacement for Pant due to an ankle injury.
N Jagadeesan may be drafted into the squad to replace Pant in the upcoming Test.
