Rishabh Pant, India's star wicketkeeper-batter, is currently recovering from his foot injury, which he sustained during the five-match Test series in England. Pant had a memorable outing in England but missed the final Test, which India won.

The five-match Test series ended in a 2-2 draw with Pant getting 479 runs at an average of 68.43 on the back of two centuries.

With an aim to return to the action on the field, Pant shared an image of himself lying in wait as he recovers from the fractured right foot. 'How many more days in this?', he captioned the post while referring to the protective boot on his leg.

The injury has sidelined him for at least six weeks. Pant was in excellent form before the injury ruled him out of the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. During the fourth Test in Manchester, Pant was hit on his foot off Chris Woakes' yorker as he attempted a reverse sweep.

While Pant's white-ball career is yet to be established, the 27-year-old will miss the upcoming Asia Cup due to the injury, and remains doubtful for the West Indies series to follow.

The Men in Blue will next be in action in the continental tournament, which is scheduled to be played in the UAE from September 9 to 28. On the other hand, the two-match Test series against the West Indies is scheduled to take place between October 2 and 14 in Ahmedabad and Delhi.
