Rishabh Pant didn't seem too bothered about missing out on a hundred in the ongoing second Test between India and Bangladesh in Dhaka on Friday.

Pant fell 7 runs short of his sixth Test hundred as he got out in the 90s for the sixth time in the longest format.

"As an individual, I don't think about the landmark so much. Three figures are just a number for me, I try to play out the situation most of the times. If it happens, it's good. If it doesn't, can't control that.

"As an individual, I am fine because I knew I was batting well. I didn't capitalize and I missed my hundred, but happy that Shreyas Iyer and I got our team out of trouble," Pant told Anjum before the start of play on Day 3," Pant said before the start of play on Day 3.
