Pant took particular liking to the pacers, displaying his range of shots in a fine display of batting. The left-hander took his time initially, but then stepped on the accelerator, reaching his fifty in just 73 balls with a six.
The Indian wicketkeeper continued his aggressive ways blasting 76 off just 87 balls before perishing to Ravindra Jadeja. Pant’s innings was laced with 14 fours and a six, and was the only 50 in the Leicestershire innings.
5️⃣0️⃣ for @RishabhPant17! 👏

In a game which saw none of their middle order batters turn up, Pant’s half-century will certainly calm nerves of the team management. The left-hander had a difficult two months in the IPL and against South Africa, but marked his red ball return in style on Friday. Pant’s approach and skill set will be key against a rampaging England side, and coach Rahul Dravid will hope that the young wicketkeeper can carry the momentum into the IND vs ENG 5th Test.
