Rishabh Pant was furious and banged his pads with the bat while walking back after scoring 101 off 118 balls (13x4, 2x6). He knew that the delivery from pacer James Anderson was there to be sent to the fence, but instead he hit it straight to England skipper Joe Root at short midwicket.
However, the impact of Pant’s knock tilted the balance in India’s favour and ensured they virtually have one foot in the World Test Championships final. Pant’s knock also provided some much-needed relief to the hosts who were in a spot of bother at 146-6 at one stage on Day Two of the fourth and final Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Friday.
