After a break of 9 days after the heartbreaking loss to England in the 3rd Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Lord's, the two sides go head to head once again at Old Trafford in Manchester in the fourth Test. This will be a do-or-die game for India, as a loss would mean that they would lose the series with a match to go. India need to win this game to level the series 2-2, and star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant will be key for the team to seal the victory, given his current form. He is also on the verge of breaking a Rohit Sharma record.

Rishabh Pant has 2677 runs in World Test Championship (WTC) history for India. Rohit Sharma holds the record for the most runs for India in WTC history, with 2716 runs to his name. If Pant scores 40 runs in the fourth Test, he has the chance to overtake the former India Test captain and break his record.

Here are the batters with most runs for India in WTC history:

Player	Runs	Number Of Innings
Rohit Sharma	2716	69
Rishabh Pant	2677	66
Virat Kohli	2617	79
Shubman Gill	2500	65
Ravindra Jadeja	2212	64

Rishabh Pant suffered an injury to his finger while keeping in the first innings of the Lord's Test. Hence, he could not don the gloves for the remainder of the match, with Dhruv Jurel taking his place behind the stumps. According to a Sky Sports report, Pant is fit and available in the fourth Test.

After the defeat in the third Test, captain Shubman Gill also confirmed that Pant would be available in the Manchester Test.

"Rishabh went for scans. There is no major injury, so he should be fine for the fourth Test in Manchester," Gill said.
