Rishabh Pant didn't take the field at the onset on Day 3 of the first India vs New Zealand Test in Bengaluru on Friday (October 18) with a knee injury keeping him indoors. Dhruv Jurel continued to occupy the gloves as India looked to curtail the visiting Kiwis who began the day from 180/3, a lead of 134 runs. India had been bowled out for 46, their lowest Test total at home, in the second session.
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a brief update before play began, "Mr Rishabh Pant will not keep wickets on Day 3. The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring his progress."
