Sourav Ganguly praised Rishabh Pant after the wicketkeeper scored 479 runs across seven innings during India's England tour. The former captain highlighted Pant's twin centuries at Headingley and his brave 74 at Lord's despite hand injury. Pant sustained a foot fracture when Chris Woakes delivered a yorker that deflected off his bat during the fourth Test. He retired hurt but returned the following day to complete a determined half-century of 54 runs.
The injury forced Pant's withdrawal from the decisive fifth Test at The Oval. Ganguly commended India's resilient fourth Test performance where they batted over 140 overs to secure a draw. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar contributed match-saving centuries during this marathon batting effort. Tamil Nadu's N Jagadeesan joined the squad as wicketkeeper cover while Dhruv Jurel prepared to assume keeping duties for the series finale.
