The Edgbaston is experiencing the real red-ball thrills as India’s batters pile on the runs, leaving England’s bowlers searching for answers. After KL Rahul’s dismissal, Rishabh Pant joined Shubman Gill, and the duo stitched a crucial partnership.

As the Birmingham crowd enjoyed Pant’s T20-fied batting in the longest format, his conversation with English wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith grabbed the attention. Pant’s selflessness during their conversation impressed fans.

Country Comes First, While Records Can Wait

Bringing the T20 heat in the red-ball format, Rishabh Pant never fails to entertain fans. After joining Shubman Gill as the number 5 batter, the batter took T20 storm on the Test arena and stunned the world with explosive hits. His blistering 65 off 58 balls, striking at 112.07, formed a crucial 110-run stand with Gill. For many, it’s unbelievable; for Pant, it’s just another day of keeping bowlers on edge.

Pant’s witty response was often caught on the stump mic, but his recent conversation melted hearts. As he was hitting all over the ground, the English wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith said, “The fastest hundred is in 55 balls, you can do that today.”

While smashing the remark out of the park, Rishabh Pant’s selflessness grabbed the attention. The Indian batter said, "I'm not greedy for records. If it happens, it happens". As the clip went viral, fans flooded social media with praise for his selfless attitude.

Team India Tightens Grip With Commanding Lead

In the ongoing second Test, the Indian batters are leaving fans on the edge of their seat with their batting brilliance. Starting the day 4, KL Rahul notched a thrilling half-century, but Gill's brilliance stole the limelight once again. After an outstanding knock in the first innings, Gill continued his masterclass in the second innings.

Smashing his third in the ongoing series, he played an iconic knock of 161 runs in 162 balls with 13 boundaries and 8 over-boundaries. Rishabh Pant’s quick-fire innings of 65 runs added more spark. With a mammoth 607-run lead, Team India declared their innings.
