Indian cricket fans ke liye ek thodi pareshan karne wali khabar Bengaluru ke Centre of Excellence (CoE) se nikal kar samne aa rahi hai. Hamare star wicketkeeper-batsman, jo apni batting se kisi bhi bowling attack ki dhajjiya uda dete hain, filhal fitness ke morche par thoda struggle kar rahe hain. New Zealand ke khilaf hone wali series se pehle Team India ke liye ye ek bada setback ho sakta hai agar cheezein plan ke hisab se nahi chali.
The Guru Story
Darasal, Rishabh Pant pichle kuch waqt se apni fitness par kaam kar rahe hain. October ke shuruat mein Irani Cup ke dauran unhe side strain ki shikayat hui thi, jiske baad se wo lagatar rehab mein hain. Sunday ko BCCI ke CoE mein unka pehla fitness test hua, lekin afsos ki baat ye hai ki wo ise clear nahi kar paaye. Iska seedha matlab ye hai ki unki New Zealand jane wali flight par filhal ek sawaliya nishan lag gaya hai.
Lekin fikar ki baat nahi hai, kyunki BCCI medical staff Pant ko ek aur mauka dene wala hai. Agle do dino mein unka phir se ek fitness test liya jayega. Agar wo is test mein pass ho jate hain, to wo seedha Lincoln jayenge jahan India A vs New Zealand A ke beech teesra four-day match khela jana hai. Selectors ne pehle hi unke naam ke aage ek asterisk lagaya tha, jo saaf darshata hai ki unka selection puri tarah se fitness par nirbhar hai.
Isi beech, India ke speedster Jasprit Bumrah ne Sunday ko hi New Zealand ke liye udaan bhar li hai. Bumrah wahan India A ke liye teesra match khel kar apni match-readiness check karenge. Jabki Pant ki jagah filhal Dhruv Jurel aur Kumar Kushagra jaise yuva khiladi backup ke taur par maujood hain. Agar Pant unfit rehte hain, to Jurel ke paas Wellington Test mein playing XI mein jagah banane ka sunhera mauka hoga.
Analysis & Numbers
- Rishabh Pant ne 23 October se CoE mein batting aur wicketkeeping practice shuru kar di hai.
- India vs New Zealand ka pehla Test 19 November se Wellington mein shuru hoga.
- India A ka teesra match 7 November se Lincoln mein shuru hone wala hai.
- Jasprit Bumrah Asian Games ke baad apna pehla competitive match khelenge.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
India ko Pant ki zaroorat hai, lekin unhe zabardasti push karna bewaqufi hogi. Hamare pass Dhruv Jurel ke roop mein ek solid backup hai jo pressure jhelna janta hai. Wahi doosri taraf, sarhad paar Pakistan ko dekhiye jahan fitness ek mazak ban chuki hai. Unke players biryani aur fitness tests ke beech confused rehte hain, jabki Team India ka standard itna high hai ki ek chote se side strain par bhi koi risk nahi liya ja raha. Pant agar 100 percent fit hain tabhi unhe bhejo, varna World Test Championship ke final road par hume koi blunder nahi chahiye.
