Rishabh Pant, India's wicketkeeper, did not take the field on Day 3 of the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru after injuring his right knee on Day 2. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed Pant’s absence, with Dhruv Jurel stepping in as the substitute wicketkeeper. Pant sustained the injury during a crucial phase of the match and has not returned to continue keeping. The BCCI has yet to provide further updates on Pant’s condition, raising concerns about his availability for the remainder of the Test match.
