India's Rishabh Pant will be fit to keep wicket in the second Test against New Zealand after an injury scare, confirmed coach Gautam Gambhir on Wednesday.
Pant made a valiant 99 in the opening loss to the Kiwis, marking the visitors' first Test victory in India since 1988. But while keeping wickets, he hurt the same knee that was operated on after a serious car crash in December 2022 that sidelined him for more than a year.
There has been a reshuffle at the top of the ICC Men's Test Player Rankings with India pacer Jasprit Bumrah re-claiming his position as the No.1 ranked bowler.

India should use Yashasvi Jaiswal as skipper Rohit Sharma's opening partner in the T20 World Cup next month and play Rishabh Pant as the preferred wicketkeeper to ensure left-handed variety in their batting lineup, former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh said.
