IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Why Rishabh Pant was allowed to bat at his regular spot despite missing fielding duty
did not take the field on Day 2 of the third Test at Lord's after injuring his finger while keeping on Day 1. With substitute Dhruv Jurel taking over the gloves for the rest of England's innings, fans began to wonder — would Pant be allowed to bat in his usual position? The answer is yes — and it's completely within the rules. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Why Pant Could Still Bat at No. 5 According to the ICC's Playing Conditions, a player who misses fielding due to external injury or illness is allowed to bat at their regular position, as long as the absence is considered legitimate. Since Pant's injury happened during play and was verified by the team physio, there was no breach of protocol. Inside the Dukes Ball Drama: Gill's Anger, Bumrah's Stand, Root's Take This is different from situations where players deliberately stay off the field for tactical reasons. In those cases, the player may face a batting restriction and can only come in after a certain number of overs have passed. Poll Should players be allowed to bat if they are injured but cannot field? Yes, it's fair No, they should not bat Only if verified by a physio Pant's case falls under the 'injury or external blow' clause, which provides full flexibility. Pant's return to bat at No. 5 was a huge boost for India, he came in after India had lost three wickets for just 65 in response to England's 387. He and steadied the innings with a solid partnership. While Rahul kept things calm, Pant added energy at the other end. The fact that he didn't take the field didn't affect his batting eligibility, and for India, that made all the difference.

Pant bats but unable to keep as India battle back against England at Lord's
As his India teammates closed in on dismissing England in the third Test at Lord's, Rishabh Pant gave himself one last personal fitness test. When England were nine men down, Pant left the dressing room with bat in hand and walked the boundary for an impromptu net session on Friday. He just wanted to be sure the left index finger he damaged while wicketkeeping on Thursday could handle his eccentric batting style. The finger seemingly did. He walked in as arranged at number five in the order and was still there at stumps after scoring 19 off 33 balls. Although Pant was visibly in pain after some shots, England didn't really test him. He mainly faced tired medium-pacer Chris Woakes and spinner Shoaib Bashir, off whom he hit his three boundaries. He faced only one delivery from the faster Brydon Carse and got a leg bye. The real test for Pant's finger and tolerance for pain will surely come on Saturday when India resume on 145-3, trailing England by 242 runs, and he will have to face 145-kilometre-per-hour (90-mile-per-hour) zingers from Jofra Archer and Carse. Pant was hurt after lunch on Thursday and never returned to keep for India. England wasn't dismissed until after lunch on Friday, but Pant's replacement behind the stumps, Dhruv Jurel, shone by taking three catches. Pant, India's vice captain, made back-to-back centuries in the first Test and a 65 in the second Test.
