Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant sustained a toe injury during the fourth Test against England in Manchester, leading to his absence from wicketkeeping duties. Despite the setback, Pant's commitment to the team remains unwavering. India's batting coach, Shitanshu Kotak, acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding Pant's ability to bat on Day 5, stating that a decision would be made based on his recovery progress.

In response to Pant's injury, Tamil Nadu's N Jagadeesan has been named as a backup and is set to join the team in England. The Indian team is exploring all options to ensure they have the necessary support in place.

Pant's determination to play, even in the face of injury, exemplifies his dedication and resilience. His potential return to the crease could provide a significant boost to India's efforts in the Test match.
