Rishabh Pant smashes a one-handed six
Pant reached his fifty off 88 balls on the third day of the ongoing Test. But before reaching the milestone, he showcased his trademark shots, including a one-handed six.
The ongoing Bangladesh Test in Chennai marked Rishabh Pant’s return to the longest format of the game after almost two years. He couldn’t leave a huge impact with the bat in the first innings, scoring 39 runs off 52 balls. However, he seemed to be getting back into his skin with an array of artistic shots in India’s second essay at Chepauk and also notching up his 12th half-century in the longest format of the game.
Pant reached his fifty off 88 balls on the third day of the ongoing Test. But before reaching the milestone, he showcased his trademark shots, including a one-handed six and paddle sweep on knees.
It was the 40th over of India’s second innings when Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowled a fuller delivery around off. Pant went down the track and lofted it aerially over long off, losing the grip of his bottom hand.
In Miraz’s next over, he got down low to paddle-sweep the ball fine of the gully fielder to pick up a couple of runs and reach 48. In the 44th over, the wicketkeeper-batter picked up a single off the Bangladesh spinner’s bowling to reach his 12th fifty in Test cricket.
