The Indian wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant is just 101 runs away from being the Indian wicketkeeper batter with the most runs in a Test series. Presently, Rishabh Pant is the second-highest scorer in the Tendulkar Anderson Series with 425 runs. The 27-year-old batter has already smacked two centuries, 134 and 118, respectively, in the first Test at Leeds. Thereafter he scored, 25, 65, 74, and 9 in the next four innings, respectively, in Edgbaston and Lord's. With the 425 runs, he is currently the wicketkeeper batter with the second most runs as an Indian in the role. Budhi Kunderan tops the list with 525 runs he achieved during the five-match Test series against England in 1964 under the leadership of Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi. Not only that, Kunderan is the only Indian keeper-batter who surpassed 500 runs in a Test series. If Rishabh keeps his form in the must-win Test at Manchester, Rishabh Pant will dethrone Kunderan and will lead the list.

Notably, Rishabh got hurt in his index finger while keeping on Day 1 and had opted only to bat for the rest of the match. Dhruv Jurel has been keeping in his place. Well, Indian assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said that it is tough to bench Rishabh Pant, keeping in mind the intensity of the Manchester Test. Doeschate confirmed that Pant is recovering and said, "He will bat in Manchester before the Test. Look, I don't think it's going to keep Rishabh out of the Test, no matter what. He batted with quite a lot of pain in the third Test, and it’s only going to get easier and easier on his finger." However, he added that they have not yet figured out the keeping dilemma. Even though it the thing, still, Doeschate said, “Keeping is obviously the last part of the process to make sure that he can keep. We don’t want to go through that again, where we have to replace the keeper after three innings."
