After an embarrassing top-order failure, Indian wicket-keeper batter, Rishabh Pant is currently batting alongside opener Yashasvi Jaiswal in the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in order to stabilise the innings and help India boost their chances at winning this clash. Both Jaiswal and Pant have steadily built an 82 run partnership off 172 deliveries at the time of writing.
The visitors are in a spot of bother as they are still 200+ runs away from clinching a victory on the final Day of the Test match. With India's World Test Championship Final qualification in danger, both Jaiswal and Pant will be hell-bent on taking India home and taking a lead in the series.
With so much on line, Rishabh Pant gave a word of advice to Jaiswal. Unlike Pant's usual bold and reckless attitude, he insisted that they must remain calm and play without any haste. He is heard saying, "Koi Jaldi Nahi Hai", as the duo step up to defend India in the stressful situation.

Pant Departs After A Unnecessary Six Off Travis Head
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant showed remarkable resilience in the afternoon session, frustrating Australia with a 79-run partnership for the fourth wicket, facing 169 balls. Despite a few close calls, including Jaiswal surviving an LBW review, both left-handers played cautiously, with no wickets falling in the session.
However, immediately after tea, Pant was dismissed attempting an ambitious shot off Travis Head, trying to clear the boundary for a six. The game now hinges on India’s ability to withstand the Aussie attack in the evening session as Jaiswal is joined by Ravindra Jadeja at the crease. India are at 122/4.
