IND vs NZ: Heartbreak for Rishabh Pant as He Misses Century by Just 1 Run

Rishabh Pant Falls in Nervous Nineties Again

Rishabh Pant, who batted brilliantly in the Bangalore Test match against New Zealand, once again became a victim of the ‘Nervous Ninety’. He missed his century by just one run in the second innings of the Test against New Zealand.

He was dismissed when he was on the verge of his seventh Test century. It is a great coincidence that for the 7th time, he reached the ninth house and was disappointed. Pant was dismissed in the 89th over of the Indian team’s innings. Will O’Rourke fall short of length? With the edge of the bat, the ball hit the leg stump and it was time for Pant to return to the tent.

Memorable Partnership with Sarfaraz Khan

Rishabh Pant was injured in New Zealand’s first innings. Jaddu had to leave the field after the ball hit his knee on the bowling. But recovering from this, he showed a strong game by entering the field on the fourth day.

While facing 105 balls, he scored an important knock of 99 runs with the help of 9 fours and 5 sixes. Although he missed out on a century, there is no doubt that his innings were more than a century. On the fourth day of play, he made a strong partnership of 177 runs with Sarfaraz Khan for the fourth wicket.
