IND vs Eng: Backfire! Rishabh Pant falls into the trap of Ben Stokes, throws the wicket with a careless shot – clock. Cricket news
New Delhi: Rishabh Pant’s ultra-invasive style has often drawn both praise and criticism, and on the second test day 1 in Edgbaston, it backfired in a luxurious way. India had started settling in a strong position, but Pant, who had just started looking comfortable, wrongly threw his wicket in a moment of Bravo.The dismissal came in the 48th position of India’s innings, a moment that increased the pace of England. Young off-spinner, Shoaib Bashir, were in the midst of a well-organized mantra, when he invited 74kph.
The pants, providing an opportunity to bring back the pressure on the bowler, went for a big hit for a long time. But delivery was a touch full and slower than expectation. The pants were not found properly under it, and the ball became directly flat and hard for a long -term crown. The dismissal disappointed Shubman Gill at the end of the non-strayer as India lost their fourth wicket against the playing run.The shot selection of the pants suggested that he was trapped in a mesh installed by Ben Stokes and Bashir-a flight fodder that the fiery left-handed batsman could not oppose the batsman. Given that the rhythm was in the pants and as of it, the shot was all more disappointing.Pant was in extraordinary touch in the second test. He was a standout artist in the series opener in Headingly, who became only the second wicketkeeper in Test history to score in both innings of a match. That performance not only strengthened its role as India’s most dangerous counter-attack, but also brought him to sixth position in the ICC Test batting rankings-a new personal high with a rating points.The pants now sit right back of Joe Root and Harry Brook’s choice, behind the top location of only 88 points. This is a return to familiar heights for 26 -year -old, which first reached fifth place in 2022.Somewhere else in the ranking, Yashsvi Jaiswal retained his number 4 place, while Shubman Gill came to 21st position. Among the bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah dominated the chart with 907 points ahead of Rabada and Cummins. Ravindra Jadeja remained the number 1 all -rounder despite a quiet match.The dismissal of the pants in Edgbaston, however, there was a reminder that talent required a balance – something that he would see to restore in the remaining matches of the series.
