Incident happened for the first time with Rishabh Pant
Team India is currently in trouble in the third Test being played against Australia. While Australia has scored a huge score of 445 runs in its first innings, Team India has lost four important wickets for only 48 runs. Once again the top order of Team India has collapsed badly. Apart from KL Rahul, no other batsman is able to stay on the crease, leave alone scoring runs. Meanwhile, something happened with Rishabh Pant, which had never happened to him in Test cricket before. Now the entire responsibility of saving this match is going to be on captain Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.
Pat Cummins is dismissing Rishabh Pant.
Pat Cummins has emerged as Rishabh Pant’s biggest enemy on the cricket field. The interesting thing is that in this series, Pat Cummins has been continuously dismissing Rishabh Pant. But he had never been able to get Pant out before. Talking about this series, these two have faced each other in 11 Test innings. In this, Pat Cummins has bowled 141 balls to Pant. In this, Pant has scored 91 runs with his bat, but Cummins was not able to get Pant out even once. But now the picture has changed to a great extent. Now Pant and Cummins have faced each other in the last five innings. In this, Pant has scored 22 runs on 41 balls, but during this period he has also been out three times. This means that now Pant is continuously becoming the victim of Pat Cummins.
Rishabh Pant’s bat has not played properly once in the entire series.
In this entire series, Pant has not shown the kind of feat with his bat for which he is known and recognized all over the world. Rishabh Pant scored 37 runs in the first innings of the first match of the series against Australia and only one run in the second. After this, when the second match started, Pant scored 21 runs in the first innings and 28 runs in the second. That means he could not cross the half-century mark even once. Pant got a good start, but he could not convert it into a big innings. In the first innings of the third Test, he could also score only 9 runs on 12 balls and became the victim of Pat Cummins.
Pant will have to score runs in the remaining series
This is the same Rishabh Pant who was batting well against New Zealand at home, but as soon as he came to Australia, runs have stopped coming from his bat. However, Pant still has one innings of this match and two Tests left after that. It remains to be seen how many runs Rishabh Pant scores for his team in that. Because if Team India has to show its strength in this series, then Pant will have to come in the same form for which he is known and recognized.
