India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant missed out on his century by a solitary run in the ongoing 1st Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru.
Pant was batting on 99 when Kiwi pacer William O'Rourke denied him a century with a delivery from around the wicket that took the inside edge of the bat and rattled the stumps.
Pant came out to bat amid concerns over his fitness, having been stretched off the ground on Day 2. He did not take the field on Day 3 as Dhruv Jurel kept the wickets once again.
However, Pant came out to bat on Day 4 and entertained the crowd with his quickfire knock, which ended in heartbreak. Pant hit a mammoth 107m six off Tim Southee's delivery.
