NEW DELHI: He came down the track first ball in his knock at Adelaide to smash Scott Boland for a four. Not too long after that, he went down on his knee and almost fell, but not before executing an adventurous scoop to fine-leg for a four. And had the courage to repeat the same shot over for another boundary. That's Rishabh Pant and his fearless character, which is what the Indian batters need to show in Gabba, feels former chief selector and India spinner Sunil Joshi.
In less than 24 hours, Pant will breathe the familiar Brisbane air from three seasons ago, when his epic 89 not out led India's historic win -- something no other Test team could do for more than three decades; that's beating Australia at the Gabba.
