Former captain Mohammad Azharuddin has endorsed a great batter to take Rishabh Pant's spot in the Indian lineup after the team for the first two Test matches against Australia was recently announced. Rishabh Pant is injured and will not play. Rishabh Pant, an all-format wicketkeeper-batter for India who was injured in a horrible vehicle accident on December 30, is expected to miss numerous major competitions during the current 2023 season.
Due to injuries sustained in a recent car accident, the Delhi Capitals (DC) captain will miss the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and is also ineligible to play in the ICC World Cup. Ishan Kishan, the Indian opener, is a great candidate for the open wicketkeeper position, according to former Indian captain Azharuddin. Following their outstanding performances in the limited-overs format, opener Kishan and middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav were called up for the Test match.
