Shubman Gill Provides Rishabh Pant Injury Update Ahead of IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025 in Manchester

London, July 14: India skipper Shubman Gill on Monday expressed confidence that wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant will be able to play in the fourth Test at Manchester after scans allayed fears of a major injury to his finger. Pant had to move off the field during the second session's play on the opening day of the just-concluded third Test against England here after suffering a blow to his left index finger. England Beat India By 22 Runs in Thrilling IND vs ENG 3rd Test 2025 at Lord's; Ravindra Jadeja's Fighting Knock in Vain as Ben Stokes and Co Gain 2-1 Series Lead.

"Rishabh went for scans. There is no major injury so he should be fine forthe  fourth Test in Manchester,” Gill said in the post-match press conference.

Pant was grimacing in pain after putting in a dive to stop a delivery on his left, which Jasprit Bumrah had sprayed down the leg side in the 34th over of England's innings. He did not keep wickets after that incident as Dhruv Jurel came in as a substitute for him. The 27-year-old was in visible discomfort while batting in the second innings where he got out for 9. The fourth Test will commence at Manchester from July 23.
