He suffered an injury on his upper back during practice in Baroda on Saturday. According to PTI, Rishabh Pant came out of the BCA stadium groaning in pain.

Apart from Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul is present in the ODI team as a wicketkeeper. BCCI has not yet announced the replacement of injured Rishabh Pant. There are speculations that Ishan Kishan can replace him, who has been selected as the alternate wicketkeeper in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2026.

On Saturday, Rishabh Pant practiced batting for a long time. Throwdown specialists were giving him batting practice, when while defending on his front foot, a ball hit him on the upper part of his waist. Head coach Gautam Gambhir and support staff had come to the field to inquire about Pant’s condition. Rishabh Pant walked out of the BCA Stadium after initial treatment by the medical team.

He recently captained the Delhi team in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26. He also played 2 half-century innings in this domestic List A tournament of India.

On the other hand, when Mohammad Siraj was practicing batting, he was having difficulty in hitting shots. He got help from Rohit Sharma in improving his batting.

India vs England Manchester Test has been in the news due to the injury of Rishabh Pant. He was hurt in the thumb on the first day, the investigation found that there was a fracture in his thumb. He did not do wicketkeeping, but came to batting despite fractures in the thumb. On the second day, when Pant came to batting, he was called a ‘warrior’, but a veteran of England has accused him of cheating. David Lloyd alleged that Pant tried to exaggerate his injury to attract everyone’s attention.

Former England cricketer David Lloyd, while discussing TalkSport cricket, said, “I was present in the Legends Lounge today, where people unanimously said,” Rishabh Pant is taking advantage of his injury. It cannot be so serious. When Pant was coming down the stairs, he has exaggerated the injury. One or two people also advised that Rishabh Pant should be dismissed. “

ICC got angry on subsidy rule

On the one hand, David Lloyd criticized Rishabh Pant, on the other hand he also demanded a change in the subsidy rule from the ICC. Lloyd said that he was strongly against the ‘runner’ rule for the injured players, but also supported the bringing of the substitute player in case of serious injury.

He said, “There are many flaws in the substitute rule, but if a player is seriously injured, then the rule of like for like replacement should be brought.

Joe Root Records: Joe Root in Manchester sets the records of records, left behind big veterans including Ponting-Dravid

Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world, which is followed by crores of people worldwide. This game has given the world great players like Sachin Tendulkar, Don Bradman, Viv Richards and Virat Kohli, but ever since the existence of cricket has come out, there has been a lot of dispute over some rules from time to time. At present, the subsidy rules have come in the discussion due to the injury of Rishabh Pant.

ICC’s subsidy rules say that if a player is injured, then another player can be called as a substitute instead, but he cannot batting or bowling. The player who comes as a substitute can only field, while the umpire can also handle the responsibility of wicketkeeping. In such a situation, there has been a ruckus about replacement and substitute rules. But there are many other rules which are often disputed.

Standard

Standarding is now known as non -strike run out. This rule says that if a non-strayer has gone far ahead of the crease before the ball is thrown, the bowling team can run out that non-strike batsman. A separate rule has been made in the Rule Book of the ICC, but they have been criticized many times by calling the incidents of standardDing inappropriate.

Call umpires in DRS

Due to the arrival of DRS in cricket, there has been a huge decrease in the decisions of the batsmen being wrong out. But the aspect of ‘umpires call’ associated with this rule often causes controversy. Suppose there was a LBW appeal against a batsman, but the umpire called him not-out. In the review taken by the bowling team, it is found that the ball was hitting the stumps, but less than 50 percent of the ball was seen from the stumps, in such a situation it is considered to be the final decision which was given by the umpire before DRS. Many times questions have been raised on the quality of accurate DRS.

Boundary catch

On hearing the name of the boundary catch, the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup is remembered, in which Suryakumar Yadav had a historic catch. But there was a fierce dispute over Michael Neser’s catch in the Big Bash League, due to which the ICC had to change the boundary catch rules. Under this new rule, a fielder can go outside the boundary and touch the ball only once while staying in the air. After this, he will have to come inside the ground and complete the catch. Such catches are often in discussion.

Team India has suffered a major setback in the fourth Test match being played between India and England in Manchester. Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who was in excellent form, was for 37 runs on the first day, when Chris was injured by Woakes. Now he is out of this series. Pant’s injury reminded Australian star batsman Steve Smith’s injury. Smith was also injured while batting against England.

Steve Smith was batting for 80 runs during the 2019 Ashes, when Jofra Archer’s ball hit his head and he fell from the structure. After this, Smith was taken out of the field. Smith did not play further in this Test match, but Marnas Labushen came to batting and hit a half -century.

Now the fans are questioning that if another batsman came in that match instead of Smith, then why can no one else replace Rishabh Pant. We tell you the answer. Actually, Smith had a ball on his head and Pant is in his leg. The ICC’s Conversion Substitute Rules apply only when a player has a ball on his head. Therefore, instead of Pant, another player can field in this test, but not batting or bowling.

The second player in the conversion subsidy replaces the injured player and then plays his role. There is also a rule that replacement should be like to like. That is, only the batsman will come when the batsman is injured, not an all -rounder.

The ICC’s substitute rule says that if a player comes as a substitute, he can only field. At the same time, the substitute player can also do wicketkeeping after the approval of the umpires, but he is not allowed to bat or bowl. This means that no other batsman can field in the Manchester Test instead of Team India Rishabh Pant.
