New Delhi: India’s stylish opener KL Rahul shared a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram for close friend Rishabh Pant and England veteran Pacer Chris Woakes, both appreciated both of them to redefine sports standards through their remarkable commitment and desire to fight through pain for their countries.Rahul posted a collage characterized by the pants and bravely took a step to bat in important moments and captioned: “Warrior. Define courage and love for this game.”
India’s vice-captain Pant removed the worry of a finger injury from the third Test and went to bat under the overcast skyse in Manchester during the fourth Test. At 68th place at day 1, he attempted a reverse sweep from Chris Woakes and took a painful blow on the leg.
His leg immediately erupted, and blood was visible as he removed his boot. Clearly in pain, the pants hurt 37 for 37 off 54 balls and had to leave the ground on a golf buggy.But at day 2, India was struggling at 314/6, Pant shocked everyone. With a heavy strip leg, the South Pahi returned to bat, pulling a vigorous ovation from the old traffic crowd. He kissed the ground, soaked in the atmosphere, and soon started entertaining with his trademark nature.The pants broke their 90th Test Six-Virendra Sehwag’s record was equal to India’s format as the highest six-hitter-and to complete a gritty half-century with a crisp border with a crisp border with a crisp border. His brave knock ended at 54 (75) when Joffra Archer sent his off-stump Cartaviling with fatal delivery.
In the fifth and final test at the Oval, it was Chris Woakes who showed the same patience. He dives his left shoulder on 1 day 1, diving to stop a border. Three days later, chasing 374 with England, just 17 runs away and below his last wicket, emerged with his left hand in a slings from the Vox dressing room, tucking under his jumper, to join Gas Atkinson at the crease.Although he did not face a ball, with every effort, the visual pain went between wickets. His brave stand ended when Mohammad Sirj bowled Etkinson, leading to India’s dramatic six runs.
