India National Cricket Team wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant is having a decent game against the Australia National Cricket Team. The first game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is taking place at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
Rishabh Pant was a shining light for India National Cricket Team in the first innings of the ongoing Test against the Australia National Cricket Team. On a track, where almost every Indian batter struggled to get going, the keeper-batter was at his entertaining best.
Pant, who walked out to bat at No.5, yet again was at the helm of the things, where India National Cricket Team has lost quick wickets. He bailed the team out of trouble and made sure he took the team to the competitive total in tough conditions.
Rishabh Pant played an innings of 37 runs off 78 balls in the first essay
Pant looked watchful and also played some unorthodox shots that made many stand and applaud him. The keeper-batter, along with Nitish Kumar Reddy (41), added 48 runs that brought the India National Cricket Team back to the after they lost 6 wickets under 80 runs.
Pant was one of the main reasons why the India National Cricket Team posted 150 runs. He took the attack to the Australia National Cricket Team bowlers and ended with an innings of 37 runs off 78 balls with the help of three boundaries and one six.
While his batting was lauded by many, a video has emerged on the internet that has seen the hilarious best of Rishabh Pant. The left-hander was seen getting physical with Shubman Gill, who was sitting on the bench.

Shubman Gill notably wasn’t named in the Indian XI for the first Test against the Australia National Cricket. This was because the batter suffered a thumb injury during the three-day match simulation of the team. In his absence, Devdutt Padikkal batted at No.3.
The Karnataka batter didn’t have a great outing with the bat in the first innings. He bagged a 23-ball duck and now would be hoping to make an impact in the second innings. Shubman Gill, who has slammed over 800 Test runs this year, is expected to be fit for the second game.
Rishabh Pant will be extremely important for his team in his team in second innings
India National Cricket Team openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal displayed a magnificent effort with the bat in the second innings. The duo has stitched a 100-run partnership and has helped the team take a lead over around 150.
In this innings too, Rishabh Pant will be extremely important for his team. The keeper-batter possesses a great record in Australia, and his flamboyant batting down the order will be vital for the team in this inning. He would be keen to better his effort from the first innings and help his team post a big total on the board.
