The 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy is one of the most memorable Test series ever as it saw a battered and bruised Team India overcoming all odds and stunning Australia in their own backyard. Heading into the fourth Test at Gabba, the series was level at 1-1 and eventually it all boiled down to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant as he led India's charge to chase down 328 in the final innings. It is important to note that Australia had not lost at the Gabba for 32 years before India eventually defeated them.

Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is currently leading Team India in the ongoing five-match T20I series against South Africa.

After losing the first two matches of the five-match T20I series, Team India bounced back beautifully to beat the high-flying Proteas in the third game to stay alive in the contest. It was a clinical show from the Rishabh Pant-led team, who first posted a total of 179/5 on the board before bundling out the Proteas for 131 runs. While Ruturaj Gaikwad (57 off 35), Ishan Kishan (54 off 35) and Hardik Pandya (31 not out off 21) shone with the bat in the first half of the match, it was Harshal Patel (4/25) and Yuzvendra Chahal (3/20) who hogged the limelight with the ball.

Under pressure India skipper Rishabh Pant will be hoping to tide over his struggles with the bat and help the hosts improve their middle overs play when they take on South Africa in the fourth T20 International here on Friday. Save Pant's problems, India were able to plug the gaps in Vizag to open their account in the series with a comprehensive win. They will need another near perfect game to take the five-match series into the decider. Such has been the brilliance of Pant that every time he has been written off across formats, he has found a way to bounce back. The stage is set for him in another must-win game for India.
