Rishabh Pant's Heroic Half-Century Defies Injury in Fourth Test
Rishabh Pant, despite an injury, scored a gritty 54 in India's first innings against England in the fourth test. His performance helped India reach 358, with England's Ben Stokes taking a five-wicket haul. Pant, initially hurt during an adventurous shot, played through pain to contribute significantly.
In a display of remarkable grit, Rishabh Pant scored a half-century despite carrying an injury, significantly boosting India's total to 358 in the first innings of their fourth test against England. The injured wicketkeeper-batsman had initially retired hurt after a daring reverse scoop attempt, leaving many wondering if he could return.
However, Pant received a rousing ovation as he stepped onto the field again on day two. Despite struggling with running, he launched an impressive attack against the English bowlers, bringing up his 19th test fifty with characteristic flair. His efforts, especially in slogging Jofra Archer for six, showcased his determination.
Pant's brave innings came to a halt when Archer uprooted his off stump after the batsman had amassed 54 runs. England captain Ben Stokes played a key role in curtailing India's innings, capturing his first five-wicket haul in years, contributing to the home team's push for a win.
