Pant Bats but Doesn't Keep Wicket for India at Lord's because of Injured Finger
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 10 – Nitish Kumar Reddy took two wickets in his first over, joining Irfan Pathan as the only Indian fast bowlers to achieve this in Tests since 2002, while Dhruv Jurel replaced injured Rishabh Pant.
- On July 10, 2025, during the opening day of the third Test at Lord's, India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant suffered a finger injury while attempting to collect a ball from Jasprit Bumrah.
- Pant injured his fingers after leaping left to stop an errant quick delivery, which caused visible pain and led to medical attention including taping and spray treatment.
- Pant persisted initially but left the field in the 34th over, handing wicketkeeping duties to substitute Dhruv Jurel amid uncertainty about Pant’s return later in the innings.
- Pant has scored 342 runs at an average of 85.50 so far in the series, which is tied 1-1, while the match is live-streamed on JioHotstar and broadcast on Sony Sports channels.
- India’s team management is monitoring Pant closely and hopes he will bat later, as his role in both wicketkeeping and middle-order batting remains crucial on clear, hot conditions at Lord’s.
