Whatever it takes to make our team win or put the team forward instead of thinking about the personal goal, that was all for me. Definitely, it's been amazing the way they backed me. The team is under pressure. Everything is there, but when the whole country stand behind you for the same cause, that is something, that emotion is difficult to explain, how proud I feel to represent my country,' said Pant in the video. 'The only message I'm going to give my team is, let's win it, guys. Let's do it for the country,' he added. On Sunday after the 4th Test match betwen England and India ended in a draw, the BCCI had confirmed that Pant would not be taking any further part in the series.

Pant fractured his toe while attempting a reverse sweep on Day 1, which led to him having to retire hurt. He then remarkably continued his innings while batting almost on one foot and scored 54 in 75 balls. Pant was advised six weeks of rest and was expected to not travel to the ground on Day 2. However, he was eventually spotted in the dressing room in full gear and he then hobbled out after Shardul Thakur was dismissed shortly before Lunch. On Day 5, the keeper wasn't required to bat due to Jadeja and Sundar's gritty knocks which ended the 4th Test in a stalemate.
