Rishabh Pant Played A Sensational Knock
Rishabh Pant’s sensational century and Hardik Pandya’s all-around heroics helped the Indian cricket team to an emphatic five-wicket win over England. However, one can’t ignore the crucial contribution of Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Ravindra Jadeja.
While Siraj and Chahal were impressive with the ball, Ravindra Jadeja was a livewire in the field as he picked some impressive catches. Later on, he played the role of an anchor from the non-striker’s end as Rishabh Pant smashed the England bowlers to all the corners of the ground.
With another dominating performance, team India sealed another win under the leadership of new captain Rohit Sharma. This was the 7th consecutive series win under Rohit Sharma ever since his appointment as India’s full-time captain in November 2021.
The Rohit Sharma-led side was in a spot of bother at 72 for four in a chase of 260, however, Hardik Pandya (71 off 55 and 4/24) and Rishabh Pant (125 not out off 113 balls) put up a stellar show to help team India complete the epic chase with 47 balls to spare. The duo added 133 runs for the fifth wicket.
Rohit Sharma’s Reaction Has Gone Viral
After Hardik was sent back to the dugout, Pant took the charge of the game and went crazy as he smashed some stunning shots, including 5 back-to-back fours. Rishabh Pant took India past the finish line, and it was the reaction of Indian captain Rohit Sharma from the dressing room that caught everyone’s attention. Rohit made a thumbs-up gesture to Pant after the job was done, to which Pant replied by doing the same. The video of the same has been going viral on the internet.
