Rishabh Pant was reportedly limping and exhibiting signs of discomfort during Monday’s practice sessions, which led him to forego the fielding and wicketkeeping practices.
The Indian squad has already begun preparations in Dubai for the highly anticipated Champions Trophy, which is scheduled to commence on Wednesday, February 19. On February 20, the Men in Blue will begin their campaign against Bangladesh. The roster will include some well-known players, and the fans are eager to see them compete in the forthcoming event, so they have high expectations.
Jasprit Bumrah‘s exclusion from the squad following a back injury sustained during the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has already dealt a serious blow to the Indian team soon before the event. Rishabh Pant, the wicketkeeper batsman, was hit in the knee during the practice session, but there were more unwelcome moments. Even though it was reported to be a minor injury, the 27-year-old star’s future is uncertain based on recent rumours.
Rishabh Pant appeared to have trouble edging the majority of the deliveries he was playing, even when he was batting.
The young star’s prospects are not good, especially in light of the next competition. Additionally, there were times when KL Rahul was practicing some huge shots since he might play at number five or six and would be attempting to transition from his well-known technical anchor role to the finisher role, which would need a much faster-paced game.
Speaking of other players, aside from Rahul, Shreyas Iyer was also honing his big hits during the practice session. Meanwhile, the team was encouraged by the superior stroke-making skills of top order batsmen Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill.
