NEW DELHI: India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant expressed his hope that he won't receive the "badges of honour" in his upcoming longer-format innings after overcoming his injuries to lead the score with 40 on the first day of the fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Pant endured injuries all over his body to earn a valiant 40 from 98 balls on Friday, which included three fours and a six, as Australia bowled relentlessly.
