Pant's painful heroics Etch another chapter in cricket's bravest moments
As Rishabh Pant limped down the steep steps of the Indian dressing room at Old Trafford on Thursday morning, there was a collective hush across the stands. It was a sight reminiscent of cricket's most heroic moments—an injured man refusing to yield. The crowd soon rose to its feet, offering a standing ovation, recognising a scene that could belong in cricketing folklore. Pant, battling a fractured toe, was taking guard less than 24 hours after retiring hurt on 37. His decision to bat again under immense pain was not just brave—it was historic. For many, it evoked memories of Anil Kumble's legendary spell in Antigua in 2002, when the former India captain bowled with a bandaged broken jaw and even dismissed Brian Lara. 'No Punt, No Pant': The audacity of a fighter Pant's return to the crease was not inevitable. When he was seen speaking to head coach Gautam Gambhir on the sidelines earlier in the day, there were doubts whether he would bat at all. But, as it has so often been the case, Pant thrives on audacity. He once reverse swept a dipping yorker from Chris Woakes—an audacious punt. On Thursday, he took an even greater one: walking out with a broken foot. And yet, if there is no punt, there is no Pant. Even the most optimistic fan would have dismissed the idea of Pant padding up again so soon. But he did—stoically, quietly, and with a bat in hand. The crowd, familiar with his flair, applauded not just the player but the indomitable spirit he brought with him. Pant walking down the stairs with broken toe (right leg) on Day 2 of India vs England 4th Test in 2025 at the Old Trafford. Photo: @BCCI The half-century that will echo through time Pant hobbled to his crease. Singles were out of question. Even turning back after a defensive push required grit. But he was unmoved in purpose. His 54 may not have been his most flamboyant innings in terms of strokeplay, but its emotional and symbolic weight placed it among his finest. When Pant looks back decades later, this half-century will sit among his eight Test tons, if not above them. The physical toll, the mental strain, the sheer absurdity of it—it all made this knock worth much more than its numerical value. In spirit and scale, this was a century. An ode to courage: In the company of legends What Pant did at Old Trafford has earned its rightful place alongside tales of the sport's most iconic acts of bravery. Just as Malcolm Marshall played with a fractured hand at Headingley in 1984 and Kumble bowled through pain in Antigua, Pant has now created a moment of his own. He had already conquered odds few have faced—a life-threatening car crash in December 2022 that left him battling for mobility. That he returned to international cricket at all is remarkable. That he did this, a year and a half later, is surreal. Pain, precision and Pant's poetry with the bat Before lunch, Pant managed just two singles—each an effort of will. Post lunch, perhaps irked by Ben Stokes's playful gesture of tapping an imaginary watch on his wrist, Pant's response was fitting. He thumped a slower bouncer from Jofra Archer for a six over midwicket, then check-drove Stokes through cover for four. As he raised his bat for the half-century, Old Trafford responded once again with a raucous ovation. The standing crowd understood what the scoreboard could not convey—this was a display of pain management, resolve and defiance. Eventually, it was Archer who found the stumps with a peach of a delivery. But not before Pant had made his statement. Here comes Rishabh Pant... A classy reception from the Emirates Old Trafford crowd ???? — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 24, 2025 Root's gesture, Gambhir's influence, and the making of a leader When Pant finally walked back, England's Joe Root patted him on the back. It was a gesture of respect, recognition of greatness in its rawest form. His teammates, coach Gambhir, and fans will remember this innings for what it revealed about Pant—the leader. During India's pre-Test training session in Beckenham, Pant's clarity of mind was striking. He talked less about his accident and more about seizing every opportunity he gets now. He sees playing for India not as an endpoint but as a constant journey—a sentiment he had shared publicly in a Star Sports interview earlier this year. Rishabh Pant. Photo: @BCCI Built different: From teen prodigy to Indian vice-captain From a precocious 19-year-old making his debut to becoming India's Test vice-captain, Pant has grown in stature. But in his heart, he still sees himself as a cricketer with everything to prove. His steely innings on Thursday demonstrated that his journey, in his own words, 'has just begun.' For someone who has already scripted many defining moments—including an epic Gabba chase and near-heroics in Cape Town—Pant's Manchester stand might just top the list. It wasn't the runs, but the raw courage that left an imprint. A legacy beyond numbers Pant may not play another match in the series. But with one innings, he has already left his mark. His bat spoke not just of skill, but of spirit, of what it means to never give up—an attribute rare and revered. On Thursday, Rishabh Pant didn't just bat with a broken foot. He carved a permanent space for himself in cricket's pantheon of grit. His 54 will not be remembered for how it was made, but why.

Not Ishan Kishan, BCCI eyes Ranji trophy standout as ideal replacement for Rishabh Pant in England: Report
Rishabh Pant's unfortunate injury has put BCCI in a tough spot, with the board having reportedly zeroed in on a Tamil Nadu cricketer, with the announcement expected soon. read more With Rishabh Pant virtually ruled out of the fifth Test for the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy at The Oval owing to a toe fracture, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is looking forward to bringing a capable replacement on board. The board is navigating through options, and as per striking reports, they have zeroed in on a name. According to Cricbuzz, BCCI have identified Tamil Nadu cricketer N Jagadeesan as the ideal replacement for the injured Pant, and an announcement regarding the same is expected to come out soon. Earlier, the reports of Ishan Kishan being the potential alternate made waves, but it turns out the Jharkhand cricketer is not available. Thus, they moved to the next best option. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Jagdeesan's performance brought him into the scheme of things Jagadeesan may have come into the fray based on his stellar domestic performance, particularly in red-ball cricket. In 52 First-Class matches, the wicketkeeper-batsman has scored 3,373 runs at a fine average of 47.50. He has 14 half-centuries and 10 centuries to his name in the domestic circuit. He emerged as a standout player in the last Ranji season, where he amassed 674 runs in eight matches at a brilliant average of 56.16, notching two hundreds and five fifties in the process. He ended up being the leading run-scorer for his state in the competition. Ideally, the selectors would have explored the A side that toured England ahead of the senior team, but with limited options available – Kishan injured and Dhruv Jurel already a part of the squad – they had to look elsewhere. The selectors had the option to pick KS Bharat, another keeper-batter, who is currently playing in England for Dulwich CC. Bharat has even played a Test in England but was not considered for the role. With Rishabh Pant injured, Jurel will carry out the wicketkeeping duties in the . India also have the option to hand over the keeping duties to KL Rahul, who has kept wickets in international games, including in the World Cup and Champions Trophy.

4th Test: Duckett and Crawley take England to a rapid 77/0, trail India by 281 runs
Manchester: Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley got England off to a flying start as the hosts' reached a rapid 77/0 in 14 overs and trail India by 281 runs at tea on day two of fourth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Old Trafford on Thursday. Skipper Ben Stokes previously led the way for England with 5-72 as they bowled out India for 358 in 114.1 overs. For India, vice-captain Rishabh Pant astonishing everyone by coming out to bat despite a fractured fifth metatarsal in the right foot, hit a brave 54 off 75 balls – a knock which will be talked for ages to come. Questions were around how the Indian bowlers would make use of bowler-friendly conditions, but Crawley and Duckett, unbeaten on 33 and 46 respectively, came out all guns blazing by feasting on the inconsistent lines and lengths from the tourists' bowling line-up. Duckett laid the platform for England by hitting four boundaries off debutant Anshul Kamboj, before glancing Jasprit Bumrah for three boundaries. While Duckett has feasted on anything on his legs, Crawley took a liking to Mohammed Siraj's freebies and hit three boundaries. The duo would take a four each off Siraj and Kamboj to ensure England hit a great punch till tea break came. Previously, Pant, who retired hurt on 37 after the painful blow to the foot on day one, added 17 more runs to India's total and that meant they managed to cross 350-run mark. The second session began with Washington Sundar getting a healthy edge off Stokes for four, before he hooked a short ball from Chris Woakes to deep fine leg and fall for 27 off 90 balls. Stokes completed his first five-wicket haul in eight years when his outswinger took an edge of Kamboj's bat and was caught safely by Jamie Smith. Pant finally got the timing right when he nailed a pull off Archer for six and reached his 18th Test fifty in 69 balls by reaching out to Stokes' wide ball and sent it cracking through cover for four. But for the second consecutive time, Archer sent Pant's off-stump on a cartwheel ride, as hit gutsy knock came to an end at 54 off 75 balls and received rousing reception from the spectators. Siraj and Bumrah hanged around to hit a boundary each, before the latter swung a leg-side delivery off Archer and the ball was caught by Smith. After Root persuaded to go for a review, that proved to be a shrewd move as a nick was detected and resulted in India's innings coming to an end, with Archer taking 3-75. Brief Scores: India 358 in 114.1 overs (B Sai Sudharsan 61, Yashasvi Jaiswal 58; Ben Stokes 5-72, Jofra Archer 3-73) lead England 77/0 in 14 overs (Ben Duckett 46 not out, Zak Crawley 33 not out) by 281 runs
