Rishabh Pant did not waste any time to work in Headingly on Friday, gave a powerful shot shortly after the end of the best century of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal, who had prepared India’s innings to score 101 runs by scoring 101 runs off 159 balls, fell for England captain Ben Stokes-the hosts got a very important success after the first session of a test. The knock of the young opener, his fifth Test century and the third against England, demonstrated his growing height as India’s next batting mainstay in the Kohli-Rohit era. After his wicket, the pants went with India to build on the stage of Jaiswal and did not waste any time to seal his authority. Facing Stokes, the wicketkeeper-batter pushed his first delivery to the on-side, but stepped out of the crease and took him under the ground for a crisp four in the back of the bowler. The shot himself took a big laughter from Stokes. The England captain, commonly surprised by the pants, exchanged some words and surprised, while Pant remained centric, eyes were set for a big first innings on Steering India. The pants are coming in number five and this young Indian is working as the vice-captain of the Indian team, looking at the maximum benefit of his innings on day 1. He has joined Captain Shubman Gill, who has announced his arrival as captain with a solid half -century.
Pant’s presence in the middle promises more fireworks, with the series led by Shubman Gill with Shubman Gill, as the visitors aim to post a great score and set the tone for the rest of the series.
