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.
Pant's knock that was laced with 14 fours and one six saw him trending on social media with the netizens lauding him for his performance ahead of the rescheduled one-off Test between the guests India and England. Notably, India will also play a T20 warm-up match ahead of the Test.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Rishabh Pant's knock:
Talking about the ongoing warm-up match, Leicestershire got bundled out for 244 runs, giving a slender lead of two runs to India. Mohammed Shami returned 3/43 and Ravindra picked 3/28. Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj picked two wickets apiece.
In their second innings, India reached 80/1 by stumps on Day 2 of the match. Srikar Bharat and Hanuma Vihari will resume the Indian innings on their individual scores of 31 and 9.
The only wicket India lost in the innings was that of Shubman Gill. The right-handed batter was dismissed by Navdeep Saini on 38 runs off 34 balls.
