Rohit's big statement on Rishabh Pant's injury

Rishabh Pant got injured while keeping wickets in the first innings of the match. He was having trouble running while batting in the second innings and did not even come on the field on the last day of the match. In such a situation, Rohit said in the press conference after the match, look, we all know what he has had to go through in the last few years. Pant had a major knee operation. It is good to be cautious. He was not comfortable running when he was batting. He has suffered a lot of pain in the last few years and it is not easy to live with pain, that is why we decided to give him extra rest before the next test.

However, Rohit Sharma did not clarify whether Rishabh Pant will play in his match or not, but he has definitely indicated that Pant can be a part of the Pune Test match. Let us tell you, Rishabh Pant came on the field even after being injured and also performed amazingly with the bat, but his innings could not save Team India from losing the match.
