India`s Rishabh Pant plays a cheeky shot during his 88-ball 91 on Day 3 of the first Test against England at Chennai yesterday;
Rishabh Pant’s edge-of-the-seat hitting ended with his now customary indiscretion, putting India under the pump against a supremely confident England, gunning for victory at the end of third day’s play in the opening Test here on Sunday.
Pant scored a breathtaking 91 off 88 balls but then threw it away with a poor shot off Dom Bess as India finished the third day of the opening Test against England at 257 for six in reply to England’s massive first innings score of 578 with 122 runs still needed to avoid the follow-on. Pant and Cheteshwar Pujara (73 off 143 balls) added 119 runs for the fifth wicket. Washington Sundar (33 batting) and Ravichandran Ashwin (8 batting) were at the crease at stumps.
