Why is Jurel keeping wickets for India – and can he bat too? What the rules say

During the third Test between India and England, Rishabh Pant sustained a finger injury, leading to Dhruv Jurel taking over wicketkeeping duties with umpire approval, as per ICC rules. While Jurel can keep, he is not permitted to bat in Pant’s place under current regulations. If Pant is ruled out, India will be a batter short, impacting their lineup.
