Rishabh Pant, who bats and keeps wickets, is India’s game-winner and will be missed in the ICC World Test Championship final against Australia. Pant is paying close attention to what is going on while he is slowly getting better from the major injuries he got in a car accident last year. Pant posted a picture of himself watching the game on Instagram with an emotional message that included a crossed finger and a heart emoji to show how much he loves the team.
During the WTC 2021–2023 run, Pant became one of the best players on the Indian team and regularly helped them win. He scored an impressive 868 runs in 12 games this season, for an average of 43.40. Pant was very important in a number of games. He hit two centuries and five half-centuries, with 146 being his best score.
In the last two seasons, Pant has become a key part of the Indian Test team, giving efforts that have won games. Since the cycle began in 2019, he has played in 24 games and scored 1,575 runs in 41 innings, giving him an average of 41.44. His hitting record is very good, with three hundreds and nine half-centuries.
But Pant’s amazing run in the World Test Championship ended quickly after the terrible car crash that happened in December. So, in Pant’s place, KS Bharat has taken on the important job of wicketkeeper-batsman.
India Struggling:
At the end of the second day of the WTC final, India is in trouble against Australia with a score of 151 for five. Australia’s first-inning score is still 318 runs ahead of theirs.
Australia had a score of 327 for three at the end of the first day at The Oval. By the end of the second day, they had been bowled out for 469 runs. The Indian fast bowlers were determined and regularly took wickets. Travis Head scored 163 runs, which was the most for Australia. Steve Smith was out after a tough 121-run game.
The Indian bowler who did the best was Mohammed Siraj, who took four wickets and gave up 108 runs in 28.3 overs. Also, Mohammed Shami and Shardul Thakur did important work by taking two important wickets each.
