Rishabh Pant has become the talk of the town with his excellent performances at the big stages. Earlier, he played a fantastic knock against Australia to snap their streak at the Gabba in Brisbane. Next, Pant entertained the fans with his phenomenal batting in the ICC World Test Championship series between India and England.
Now, the Indian cricket team’s wicket-keeper batter is back to make the country proud in another ICC tournament match. It is the match between the Indian cricket team and the Pakistan cricket team, the biggest game in the T20 World Cup 2021’s Super 12 stage. Pant came out to bat a little earlier than expected.
KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma were in fantastic touch during the warm-up stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. However, they had no answer to the quick deliveries from Pakistan’s left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi. Both Indian openers were back in the hut before they could score big. Suryakumar Yadav hit a four and a six in his brief knock of 11 runs, but Hasan Ali dismissed him soon.
Rishabh Pant then batted with Virat Kohli and the Indian duo rebuilt the innings. Kohli focused on strike rotation, while Pant took the aerial route multiple times in his 30-ball 39 against the Men in Green. He smashed a couple of a one-handed sixes off Hasan Ali’s bowling. Many Indian fans would know that the one-hand six is the trademark shot of Pant.
