The Indian team has started its home Test season in a great way, in which they have won the first match of the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh by 280 runs and have taken a 1-0 lead in this series. The biggest hero of Team India’s victory in this match was Ravichandran Ashwin, who scored a century in the Chennai Test match and took 6 wickets in the second innings of this match. Apart from Ashwin, this Test match was also very special for Rishabh Pant because after being badly injured in a car accident, he returned to this format after a long time, in which a century was seen from his bat in the second innings of Team India in this match. Pant also revealed after the victory of the Indian team in this match that he was very emotional after scoring a century.
Pant was nervous due to this reason and stopped himself from playing a big shot.
Rishabh Pant, along with Shubman Gill, not only shared a 150-plus run partnership for the fourth wicket in Team India’s second innings in the Chennai Test match but also completed his sixth century in Test cricket. Pant also revealed after the match that he was a little nervous before entering the match because he was going to play a Test match after almost 2 years. Pant said after the match was over that returning to Test cricket was very special for him because he likes this format the most. Pant also said that he always enjoys playing on this ground. When Pant came out to bat in Team India’s second innings, at that time there were three wickets for 67 runs, so he stopped himself from playing a shot that could have been a little dangerous, which would have increased his chances of getting out. Pant said that if one more wicket had fallen during that time, the team would have been in a bit of trouble, so I decided not to take any risk and decided to play according to the situation.
Pant equaled Dhoni in terms of centuries.
With his sixth century in Test cricket, Rishabh Pant has now reached the level of MS Dhoni in this matter. Pant’s return has also strengthened Team India’s batting, in which he got a chance to bat at number five above KL Rahul in this match against Bangladesh. Looking at the upcoming Test matches, Pant’s form is a great relief for Team India.
