India’s dynamic wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant hit an outrageous pull shot to Scott Boland that raced away for a boundary despite Pant not being in full control of the shot. Boland threw a short-of-the-length delivery, and Pant went for a reverse pull. While he lost control and tripped to the ground, the shot still went on to touch boundary ropes.

Team India bowled out Australia for 337 after Travis Head slammed a splashing hundred. With a 157-run trail, India stepped out with intent before Scott Boland and Pat Cummins nailed wickets at regular intervals. Virat Kohli registered another failure at 11 off 21. Shubman Gill also wasted his decent start to get bowled out by Mitchell Starc.

Rishabh Pant stuns crowd with unorthodox hit

With chips down and pressure building, Indian wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant stepped out in the middle. Unfazed by the pressure, Pant continued to bat like his usual self. In Scott Boland’s 19th over, Pant danced down the track and hammered a fuller delivery for a four at wide extra cover.

For the next ball, Rishabh Pant delivered a classic reverse shot. Boland pulled back the length, and Pant got into a reverse position before the bowler released the delivery. He wasn’t expecting a shorter delivery. Still, Pant slammed an awkward pull shot that raced to the fine leg boundary for four. 

Pant wasn’t in complete control as he tripped to the ground. However, seeing the ball race to the boundary left the fans and commentators in complete awe. A 10-run over further boosted Rishabh Pant’s confidence. 

India in deep trouble in pink pink-ball Test

India’s reply in the third inning was mediocre as half the team went back to the dressing room in the 3rd session. Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy and fighting in the middle with over 20 runs trail left to cover. While 3 days are still left in the pink ball Test, an early result is expected given India’s troubles. Notably, India are leading the 5-game Test series 1-0.
