Paul Collingwood gave a massive compliment to India's young wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant who bailed out the visitors from a precarious situation with a superb century on day one of the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbston on Friday.
Pant produced a phenomenal innings of 146 runs off just 111 balls, rescuing India from a very difficult 98/5 after being sent in to bat by England skipper Ben Stokes.
Pant's record 222-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja (83 not out) eventually helped the team go past the 300-run mark and reach 338/7 at stumps. "I take my hat off to the way Pant played.
When you play against world class players, they can do world class things. And today he had his day," said Collingwood after the opening day's play.
