Rishabh Pant won the hearts of fans by riding fifty despite injury. Rishabh Pant was injured in an attempt to reverse a reverse sweep by Chris Woakes on the first day of the fourth Test against England. Due to this, he had retired for 37 runs. After the scan, it was found that his right leg had a fracture. Despite this, Pant returned to the crease on the second day and made a half -century while playing despite the pain. He was dismissed for 54 runs. Sanjay Manjrekar said to ‘Jio Hotstar’, ‘When you do such things like Anil Kumble bowls on the jaw and bowling, then these are the moments of history that you will remember even after 50 years. This shows how committed they are to play for India.
Sanjay Manjrekar said, ‘There is something special in Test cricket, especially when it is being played in England. How much attention is on you as a cricketer. Here he wants to give his best. If you are surprised that why did they not have the same effect in the cricket of white ball, then this is probably the reason. Because Pant wants to leave his mark on Test cricket more than any other format.
Sanjeev Goenka, owner of IPL franchise Lucknow Supergiants, has also saluted Rishabh Pant’s innings. He posted a picture of Pant on X and wrote with him, ‘This is not just a table. This is the character that you do in difficult times. Salute. ‘
