In this match, Team India is batting first after losing the toss and his eye has been received on returning to the series. Meanwhile, Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has got a great news.

Rishabh Pant gets very good news
In fact, before the Edgbaston Test, the International Cricket Council released the latest Test rankings. In this, Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has benefited strongly. Rishabh Pant scored a brilliant performance against England in the headingley Test, scoring centuries (134 and 118) in both innings. This historic performance had brought him to 7th position in the ICC Test batsmen rankings. At the same time, now he reached number six before Edgbaston Test.
Pant has 801 rating points, which is the best rating of his career. Let me tell you, Temba Bavuma is the reason for Rishabh Pant reaching number six. Actually, recently the South African team played a Test match against Zimbabwe. In this match, South Africa's team won, but Temba Bavuma was not a part of this match. Due to which he faced loss in the ranking. Due to which he has moved from sixth to 7th position and Pant has benefited from one place.
The first place remains the root
England's Joe Root continued his brilliant form and retained the first place in the Test batsmen rankings. Route, who scored 28 and 53* runs in the headingley test, tops with 889 rating points. His partner Harry Brook is second with 874 points. At the same time, Travis Head has reached number 10 with a jump of three places.
