IND vs ENG: Rishabh Pant Returns To A Test XI At Home After Two Years

By IANS News February 04, 2021 • 20:18 PM View: 981

India has decided to continue with in-form batsman-wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant for the first Test against England starting here on Friday as he is a "match-winner", said India skipper Virat Kohli on Thursday. This means that 36-year-old Wriddhiman Saha, who has been keeping wickets at home, will sit out, though he is in the squad.

Pant, 23, last played a home Test over two years ago, against West Indies in Hyderabad.
