This question has been asked in the past week due to the unfortunate accident that Rishabh Pant has suffered in the past week and it is looking like he will not be able to take part in any sort of cricket for at least 6 months due to a ligament tear and therefore as the test series vs Australia is fast approaching, Team India will have to find a replacement and quickly because they do not have much time.
Rishabh Pant was the most important part of the Indian team and since he will not be there to take part in the Australian home test series so India will have to find someone and there are a few options but their impact is unknown but the situation that Team India is in they will have to do with what they have.
So, let’s see the likely options:
Wriddhiman Saha
The first name that will be on the lists of a lot of people is this experienced wicket keeper who was the main wicket keeper before Rishabh Pant took the spot and made it his. He is one name that can be called back to the team as he was the best keeper in the world and in home conditions he can prove to be very useful. Wriddhiman Saha is the frontrunner to replace Pant.

KL Rahul
Although KL Rahul is a person who bats at the Top of the order but his place In the team is not sure so he might not get to open in the future and therefore in the test series vs Australia he might have a chance of coming back as a wicket keeper but he will have to bat lower down the order for the benefit of the team. KL Rahul will also be another capable option that the Indian team could look at.

Ishan Kishan
The wild card in this list is none other than Ishan Kishan and people will say that he is not ready for test cricket but the same could have been Saud for Pant but he proved everyone wrong and in this list it is only Ishan Kishan that can play in the way that Rishabh Pant plays test cricket and he is very young and a great keeper as well so he checks all the boxes to be a perfect replacement for Pant. Recently Ishan Kishan scored the fastest 200 in ODI and knocked on the doors to get him in the all formats.
