"I am hurting to see this score of 46 as a captain as it was my call to bat first. But one or two bad calls in a year is quite alright," Rohit said at the day-end press conference. Rishabh Pant Limps Off The Field After Injuring His Troubled Right Knee During IND vs NZ 1st Test 2024, Dhruv Jurel Takes Up Wicket-Keeper's Role.
