'Fight will be remembered...'- Sanjiv Goenka's inspiring post for Rishabh Pant

That injury in the foot proved serious. Rishabh Pant is ruled out from the 5th and the final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy. The match will decide the ultimate scoreline of the series, which is now led by England 2-1.

Rishabh Pant's exclusion from the series is definitely a major blow for Team India. They had to bat without the southpaw in the second innings. BCCI is already informed about Pant's injury and unavailability for the 5th match, which will be played at The Oval. The injury of the Team India vice-captain came as a major heartbreak for Indian cricket fans. Sanjiv Goenka also expressed his thoughts about the incident and shared an inspiring social media post to reflect the amount of guts and fight by Rishabh Pant against England despite sustaining injury and wished for a quick recovery. 

"Battled a fractured toe, broke records, and stood tall for the team. Most runs by a keeper in a Test series in England. Most 50+ scores by a visiting keeper. The fight will be remembered. Speedy recovery, champ," Sanjiv Goenka said.

The middle-order batter's presence in the team was considered as a major plus point for Team India. His batting style and tendency to play unorthodox shots often caught the opposition by surprise. In the first match of the tour, as a keeper-batter of India, he scored centuries in both innings at Leeds. Then, in the following three matches and 5 innings, the attacking batsman bagged three fifty-plus scores. 

Rishabh Pant's batting performance in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar trophy:

• 134* and 118 vs. England, Leeds
• 25 and 65 vs. England, Birmingham
• 74 and 9 vs. England, Lord's
• 54 vs. England, Manchester
