After yet again losing the toss and being asked to bat first, Team India have posted a massive total of 336 for 6 in their quota of 50 overs.

However, Pant did take his time early on during the innings before setting the stage on fire in the second India vs England ODI. The swashbuckling left-hander smacked an incredible one-handed six over the point region off Tom Curran’s bowling during the 47^th over of the Indian innings.

IND vs ENG: DRS blunder denies Rishabh Pant a boundary

The second ENG vs IND ODI witnessed a horrendous incident where Rishabh Pant was denied a boundary in a controversial manner. Actually during the 40^th over, Pant went for his favourite reverse sweep lap shot and the ball even went to the boundary off the inside edge. However, Tom Curran appealed for a leg-before dismissal on the same delivery and the umpire also gave the decision in the bowler’s favour but Pant immediately took the Decision Review System (DRS). As per the replay for the TV umpire, the ball clearly hit the bat and didn’t even connect with the pads at any moment.

The decision had to be turned in the batter’s favour and with that controversially, Pant was denied four extra runs. According to the official rule, the ball was declared ‘dead’ after Virender Sharma addressed it as ‘out’.
