NEW DELHI: Amid a challenging opening day for India in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth, Rishabh Pant provided a moment of sheer brilliance with a jaw-dropping six off Australian skipper Pat Cummins.
India, reeling from relentless pressure by the Australian pacers, saw a brief glimmer of hope when Pant joined debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy for a gritty seventh-wicket partnership. While most of the day belonged to the Australian bowlers, Pant’s audacious six in the 42nd over was a standout moment that briefly shifted the spotlight.
