Rishabh Pant at number 5 to bat despite pain, hit 97 runs

Rishabh Pant was promoted to bat at number 5 in the second innings.

Rishabh Pant was given batting first in place of Hanuma Vihari, who is struggling with bad form. He batted openly and made 97 runs in a jagged style.

On the fifth and last day of the Sydney Test, on Monday, Team India wicket-keeper batsman Pant came out to bat.

Rishabh Pant was given batting first in place of Hanuma Vihari, who is struggling with bad form. Pant batted openly and made a half-century in a haphazard manner.

Rishabh missed his third Test century. Pant was caught out by Nathan Lyon by Pat Cummins.

Pant was out after scoring 97 runs. His innings included 12 fours and 3 sixes. Rishabh hit a half-century off 65 balls, which included 5 fours and 3 sixes.

However, it was found in the scan that Rishabh Pant has no fracture. He was in severe pain, but on the fifth day Rishabh Pant came out to bat.

During Australia’s second innings, Wriddhiman Saha was in charge of wicketkeeping in place of Pant. According to cricket rules, if a wicket-keeper gets injured during batting or wicket-keeping, then he can replace his fellow wicket-keeper for wicket-keeping only.

Rishabh Pant had scored 36 runs in the first innings. On the other hand, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja can also go for batting despite a thumb fracture. Let me tell you that in the first innings, Jadeja was hit by Mitchell Starc on the thumb, which fractured him.

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is now out of the fourth Test against Australia. Apart from this, Jadeja has also been ruled out of the first two matches of the Test series against India in England.

Ravindra Jadeja took four wickets in the first innings of the Sydney Test and ended Steve Smith’s century with a brilliant throw.
