PANT HITS A MASSIVE SIX

Debutant Rishabh Pant struck a massive six off the second-ball in his debut Test match. This left the entire crowd speechless and his mother felt both nervous and surprised. This 20-year-old cricketer became the first Indian to do this in the debut match. This speaks highly of his faith and form.

I WAS VERY NERVOUS: PANT’S MOTHER

“I was very nervous when I heard that he would be making his Test debut. I was very much surprised. Before going into play the Test, he telephoned me and asked me to watch him play on TV. I generally don’t watch matches on TV when he is playing. However, after his father’s recent death, he has been requesting me to watch him play,” said his mother.

But, Pant’s coach Tarak Sinha was not astonished at all.

RISHABH IS A VERY STRONG MAN: TARAK SINHA

Sinha, who has guided and trained many former Indian cricketers, said, “Rishabh is a steel man and among all my other promising pupils, his ability to hit hard. He is very strong in all aspects. He has proved that he can play the red cherry with confidence and against all odds”.

Earlier on Day 2, Pant made another record as well. He became the only Indian wicketkeeper to take five catches in his debut Test. Pant was picked up as a replacement to Dinesh Karthik who was injured.
