Rishabh Pant breaks Dhoni’s record, Prithvi Shaw left Mumbai and Karun Nair fails again

Jasprit Bumrah has talked about fielders dropping catches off his bowling. Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul have broken records with their hundreds on day four of the India vs England 1st Test. Karun Nair’s Test return with the bat has ended. Team India suffered another humiliating collapse in Headingley. And Prithvi Shaw won’t play for Mumbai anymore.

Pant scores twin tons in Headingley

Rishabh Pant has become just the second wicketkeeper in Test history to score hundreds in both innings of a Test match. This record in itself isn’t a small feat. He also became the foreign gloveman with the most runs in England, surpassing MS Dhoni. Pant also tied Sachin Tendulkar and Dilip Vengsarkar as batters with the second most Test hundreds in England.

KL Rahul best Asian opener in England?

KL Rahul has become the first Asian opener to score 3 centuries in England. The 33-year-old brought up his 9th Test hundred in Headingley and top-scored for India. Only one of KL Rahul’s nine centuries has come at home. 6 of them are outside of Asia. Only Sunil Gavaskar has more away hundreds in Test cricket than him.

India lose 6 wickets for 31 runs

For the second time in four days, Team India suffered a major collapse. At one point, the visitors were 333/4 and had a 339-run lead. From there, the remaining wickets fell for just 31 runs. A similar situation had occurred in the first innings, as India lost the last 7 wickets for just 41 runs.

In the second innings, Nair managed to score 20 runs despite coming in to bat when the score was 287/4. He looked very tentative during his 50-ball stay and ultimately was caught and bowled.

Bumrah on dropped catches

Jasprit Bumrah was asked about how he felt about three catches being dropped off his bowling. The pacer stated that he didn’t cry about it and simply moved on.
