Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar had an interesting take on Rishabh Pant's aggressive shot on day four of the first Test against England at the Headingley in Leeds. Manjrekar stated that the left-hander's batting pattern is like ECG graph as it produces a spike after suddenly flat lining.
The moment occurred in the 32nd over of the innings as Pant danced down the track to a length delivery from Chris Woakes. The southpaw belted a shot down the ground and Woakes barely had any chance of stopping the ball despite getting his hand down to prevent it from going to the boundary.
Watch the below video from Star Sports as Manjrekar said on air:
"Inka batting ka graph hai na thoda ECG ki tarah hai. Dot ball, dot ball, flatlining hoti hai aur suddenly ek spike aata hai."
Rishabh Pant completes 150 dismissals in Test cricket
Meanwhile, Team India's vice-captain completed a massive milestone as far as his keeping statistics go, completing 150 dismissals in the format on day 3. The landmark came after Prasidh Krishna got Ollie Pope to nick off for 106. The southpaw took one more catch on day 3 when Stokes edged one off Mohammed Siraj's bowling in the 65th over of the innings.
Despite those two scalps, Harry Brook continued to score freely as the home side went to lunch at 327/5 after beginning at 209/3. The home side were eventually bowled out for 465, whittling down India's lead by 6 runs. India finished day 3 at 90/2, holding a 96-run lead.
