New Delhi: India's star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant fondly recalled his match-winning 89 not out against Australia at the Gabba during the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, a performance hailed as one of the finest in Indian Test history.
Pant shared how Rohit Sharma’s words after the memorable knock made him truly appreciate its significance. "I don’t know what to say about that. but I’m always trying to do my best. Sometimes, there are performances that you remember for a lifetime, and one of them for me is the Gabba Test. At the time, I didn’t realise how significant it was.
"Rohit bhai was there, and he told me, 'You have no idea what you've done.' I was like, 'What have I done? My aim was just to win the match.' Rohit bhai said, ' Later, you’ll understand what you’ve done.' Now, whenever I hear people talking about that Gabba match, I understand what he meant and how important it was," Pant told Star Sports.
