Rishabh Pant has always been the kind of player who fights back with aggressive shots whenever India is under pressure. That instinct hasn't changed even when Rishabh Pant is leading the Indian cricket team in the ongoing second and final Test against South Africa in Guwahati.
The explosive left-handed batter first tried to ease the pressure by smashing a six off Simon Harmer's off-spin, but then he went into cautious mode after Dhruv Jurel lost his wicket. After the tea break, Pant went after Marco Jansen as well. But this time, the stand-in captain's attacking move backfired.
Rishabh Pant's aggression backfires again and triggers India's downfall in GuwahatiJansen bowled a good-length ball, and Panat charged down the pitch looking for a big hit. Instead of connecting cleanly, the Indian wicketkeeper-batter got a thin edge, and the ball went straight into the hands of wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne on Day 3 in Guwahati.
