India captain Rohit Sharma said they will have to carefully manage Rishabh Pant's workload for the remainder of the series against New Zealand after the wicketkeeper-batsman suffered a knee injury in their eight-wicket defeat by the tourists.

Rishabh Pant is a 'once in a generation' cricketer and hence will the Indian team risk him in the Pune Test considering there is a long season ahead with five Tests against Australia coming up? This is going to be a tough call that needs to be taken by the management and they do not have a lot of time.

Rishabh Pant's recovery after a severe car accident and a major surgery has led the Indian cricket team to handle his workload cautiously. Despite his aggressive innings in India's second innings, Pant was kept from wicketkeeping to ensure his full recovery.
