On the England tour, the vice-captain of Team India suffered a leg injury while playing a reverse sweep against Chris Woakes on the first day of the Manchester Test match.

Meanwhile, on the ongoing England tour, Team India will be looking for Pant’s replacement. So at the same time, today in this news we are going to tell you about 3 such players, who can replace Pant during this series
3. Ishan Kishan
Indian team’s 27-year-old batsman Ishan Kishan can be a great alternative to Rishabh Pant in Team India. Like Pant, Kishan is known for aggressive batting. Recently, Kishan is playing for Nottinghamshire in England and has scored more than 50 runs twice, which is his achievement in his first county season for the club. Kishan has played two Test matches for Team India, in which he has scored 78 runs.

Experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson can also replace Pant in the remaining series against England. Samson has immense experience on the cricket field. Although the statistics do not tell much of his story, he can still be an ideal option for India. Bringing experienced Samson into the team can prove to be beneficial for India. However, he has not played Test cricket for India yet.

Mumbai-born cricketer Sarfaraz Khan may have a great chance to replace Pant on the England tour. Recently, Sarfaraz has made a tremendous change in his fitness and has lost more than 10 kg in one and a half months. Considering his fitness, and after playing some good innings for India in red ball cricket so far, Sarfaraz can be selected in place of Pant. This middle-order batsman has scored three half-centuries and one century in 11 innings for India in the Test team.
