Edgbaston| When you look at Rishabh Pant, only loud, loud words come to your mind. In comparison to his white ball exploits, Rishabh Pant playing the red ball in Indian whites is worth watching. No one knows how he does it, or with what mindset he does it, but time and again he has shown us that he is ahead in the purest format of the game and that he can turn the tide in his team’s favor than anyone Is. Situation.
With Brendon McCullum at the helm of English cricket, Ben Stokes and his team have been playing aggressive Test cricket, but now it seems Pant is giving him a taste of his own medicine. Pant played a blistering innings of 100 runs in 89 balls and ran ahead M S DhoniRecord of 100 runs in 93 balls outside India.
When the Delhi Capitals captain came out to bat, India were trailing 71-4 and their top order was completely gone, the likes of which Virat Kohli, Hanuma Vihari, Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill. English captain Ben Stokes opted to bowl in view of the rain conditions which were bound to help his bowlers and they performed as expected.
