Rishabh Pant：Guardian Lesion Update of the Danger、Team Indiaの練習セッションに戻る

インドチームのヘッドコーチであるGautam Gambhirは、KL Rahulが2025チャンピオンズトロフィーの彼の最初の選択ガードであることをすでに明らかにしていましたが、本のRishabh Pantの負傷は誰かが最後に望んでいたものです。日曜日に、後者はドバイでの練習セッションで膝の怪我を負いました。 […]

Even though Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir had already clarified that KL Rahul was their first-choice keeper for the Champions Trophy 2025, an injury to reserve Rishabh Pant is the last thing anyone would want. On Sunday, the latter had suffered a freak knee injury during the practice session in Dubai, that had left everyone a bit concerned, with Pant leaving with a limp.

But then in what comes as a good news, Rishabh Pant returned to practice on Monday without any strapping on his knee at the ICC Academy. As per a report in the TOI, the southpaw was hit on his knee when a shot from Hardik Pandya hit him hard, near the nets.

Returning to the practice, the 27-year-old skipped the fielding drills, and focused on his batting. Gambhir was also visibly chuffed with the former returning to the field. Meanwhile, India will play their first match against Bangladesh in Dubai, on Feb 20, followed by the much-anticipated IND vs PAK match at the same venue on Feb 23. India will play their last group match on March 2 vs New Zealand.

On the other hand, team’s bowling coach Morne Morkel has returned home due to a personal tragedy. The South African reportedly lost his father, with the coach not taking part in the training session on Monday. There is no clarity as to when he would be back with the team, or if he would be a part of the Champions Trophy.
