Answering questions at the press conference after his incredible 146 off 111 balls to lift India out of a hole with Ravindra Jadeja (83 not out), Pant said: "In Test cricket it's important to focus on defence. It's important to give respect to a good ball and hit the bad ball. "In England it's important to disturb the length of a bowler."
At 98 for five, India were staring down the barrel but Pant (146 off 111 balls) scripted a remarkable turnaround in the company of Ravindra Jadeja (83 batting off 163) as the duo shared a match changing 222-run stand off 239 balls. Pant, who rendered the England bowlers helpless, hammered 20 boundaries and four sixes, in his awe-inspiring effort. Day 1: As It HappenedThe rain in the morning meant only 73 overs could be bowled on the opening day.
Rishabh Pant gave Ben Stokes' England a taste of their own medicine with a superb counter-attacking century as India recovered from a top-order collapse on Friday's opening day of the delayed fifth Test at Edgbaston.
Jasprit Bumrah will lead India in the rescheduled fifth Test against England in Edgbaston, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) informed through an official release on Thursday. The series decider begins in Birmingham on Friday. There was suspense over Rohit Sharma's availability after head coach Rahul Dravid told the media that he was not yet "ruled out" on Wednesday. The announcement that Bumrah will lead in Rohit's absence came just moments ahead of the captain's press conference on the eve of the match. Wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant has been named the vice-captain for the match.
The fifth rescheduled Test between India and England will start on July 1 but there's no clarity on Rohit Sharma's participation. The Indian skipper is under isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 last week. With vice-captain KL Rahul also out injured, the question remains as to who will lead the team against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Rohit was named as India's all-format captain after Virat Kohli had stepped down from the role, following the Test series defeat in South Africa.
Dinesh Karthik has been the toast of Indian cricket fans and former players, ever since making a grand comeback in the Indian cricket team post his heroics for RCB in IPL 2022. Karthik is being talked about as a potential match winner for India in the upcoming T20 World Cup and the veteran wicket-keeper batter has only helped his case for selection for the big event by producing attacking knocks as a finisher.
Former India captain Virat Kohli looked in some real good touch when he came out to bat in India's second innings of the ongoing warm-up match against Leicestershire at Grace Road. While the first innings saw Kohli losing his wicket on 33, he improved his performance in the second innings and scored 67 runs. During his fifty against Leicestershire on Saturday, Kohli played an upper-cut on a ball bowled by Jasprit Bumrah, and the video of the classic shot is now going viral on social media.
After a below-par T20I series against South Africa with the bat, Rishabh Pant, playing for Leicestershire finally had a ball as he scored 76 runs off 87 balls in the ongoing four-day practice match between India and Leicestershire at Grace Road. It is interesting to note that Pant was playing the match against India, the team that had Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja in the bowling unit. The southpaw was eventually outfoxed by Jadeja after handing a catch to Shreyas Iyer.
