Indore: Rishabh Pant is famous for his counter punch in Test cricket. His style of attacking has changed the very nature of Test cricket. Pant’s attacking style has brought India victories in recent times. The style of the ball is to get the team out by finding quick runs with low balls. As India collapses in the second innings of the third Test against Australia, cricket fans are remembering the ball.
Social media says that the Indian team is well aware of the absence of the ball. Another argument is that Ball could have saved the collapse in the second innings. KS Bharath replaced Rishabh Pant in the Indian team. But he could not shine in any innings. Bharat was dismissed for 17 runs in the first innings in Indore. He was out for just three runs in the second innings. After this, the fans are talking about the absence of the ball.
I think we are realizing importance in Indian cricket test team. ????

Nathan Lyon taking 5 fers lol.
If Rishabh Pant present here, then he would have smacked Lyon so much.

Top order failure continues unabated. Pujara playing typical anchorman. But not many staying out for company.
We are feeling the Pant sized hole in middle order batting. KABharat is no match for Rishabh Pant. He was driving force on our overseas wins.

Ravindra Jadeja has five fifties. KL Rahul and Rohit Shar are fourth with four each. Pant, who is recovering from a car accident injury, has a good record against Lyon. In this situation, the performance of the ball against the Aussies was discussed again.
When the information was finally received in Indore, it was 145 at 7 pm. Now India has a lead of only 57 runs. Cheteshwar Pujara (52) and Axar Patel (4) are at the crease. Rohit Sharma (12), Shubman Gill (5), Virat Kohli (13), Ravindra Jadeja (7), Shreyas Iyer (26), Sreekar Bharat (3) and R Ashwin (16) are out. Nathan Lyon took five wickets.
This is what it means to fly. Khawaja’s wonder by catching Shreyas – video
