WATCH: Rishabh Pant Takes On Lankan Spinner Embuldeniya; Smashes 20 Runs In An Over

By Rishabh Gautam March 05, 2022 • 16:07 PM View: 1965

India vs Sri Lanka: Rishabh Pant is a name in Indian cricket, especially in Tests who rises to the occasion when the team needs it middle-order batter the most. The 24-year old yet again came to his team's aide as he scored 96 runs in the ongoing 1st test match between India and Sri Lanka.

After losing Virat Kohli (45) and Hanuma Vihari (58) in quick succession, India were looking in a spot of bother at 175/4 with two new batters at the crease. However, the fearless Indian left-handed batter knew it was his time to shine, the perfect circumstances for a 'Rishabh Pant' show.
