India is preferring Pant for the wicket-keeper spot based on his recent form.
India wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant is prepared for the second Test against England. He showed off flexibility in a video posted on his Twitter account a day before the second match.
Pant was getting into the zone before the match as he did front handspring and a kick-up move in the video. "Jumping into Match Mode be like ????????♂️ #RP17", he wrote.

The 23-year-old is currently preferred for the wicket-keeper spot in India's Test team over Wriddhiman Saha. He has earned the place after consecutive good knock for his side in a tough situation.
In the first Test, Pant scored a 91-run, however, he failed in the second innings. It was an important innings from the youngster as the Indian batting line-up was falling apart.
Before the innings in the first Test, the India wicket-keeper batsman had played a couple of crucial knocks on the Australia tour. In the Sydney Test, he scored 97 runs, followed by a match-winning unbeaten 89 runs in Brisbane.
