India’s wk-batter Rishabh Pant has expressed his frustration over his fractured toe he sustained during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

He went on to share a picture of the injured toe in an Instagram post, which received mixed signals from Social media.

Pant has played four matches, one among that with a fractured toe, and scored 479 runs. He went on to score two tons and three half-centuries to entertain throughout.

Had been fit, Rishabh Pant would have played the fifth test played as well.

The injur cut short Rishabh Pant’s journed in England and he is now recovering. Pant gave his fans a glimpses of his injury recovery and wrote, “I hate this so much.”

Meanwhile, former India opener Aakash Chopra has said Rishabh Pant will surpass MS Dhoni’s tally of runs in Tests if he plays more matches for India, India’s vice-captain in Tests, is currently recovering from a right foot fracture sustained while batting in the fourth game against England at Manchester.

Rishabh Pant has featured in 47 tests so far, scoring 3427 runs at an average of  44.50. His tally includes eight tons, two more than MS Dhoni even though later played 90 tests.

“MS Dhoni is at the top in terms of the number of matches played and runs scored. He has played 90 games, 144 innings, scored 4876 runs at an average of 38.09, and has six centuries to his name. Rishabh Pant has struck six centuries in the last five years.”

“If we look at it overall, Rishabh Pant has already scored eight centuries and MS Dhoni had six centuries. Rishabh Pant is already in the second spot (in terms of number of runs),” he added.

“He is 1400 runs behind MS Dhoni and has played nearly half the games. If he plays more, he will obviously go ahead of MS Dhoni,” said Chopra in a video posted on his YouTube channel on Sunday.

“If we see the most runs by a wicketkeeper in England, he is the only guy who has scored 1000 runs in England. He has struck four centuries and five half-centuries. He has scored more than 1000 runs in 13 matches and 24 innings. They might start building his statues in England,” he further said.

“If we see the list of all Test wicketkeepers in the world to date, Adam Gilchrist has scored 5570 runs at an average of 47.60 in 96 matches. He is the one who is fairly ahead of him,” added Aakash Chopra.

“However, Gilchrist might also be caught because Pant is nearly 2250 runs behind. Without a shadow of doubt, India’s No. 1 wicketkeeper-batter ever and in world cricket, he will finish as one of the finest and probably the best,” concluded Aakash Chopra.
