Rishabh Pant (101) puts India in control, close Day 2 on 294/7 with lead of 89 runs over England

[Rajdeep]

Okay new ball is here. This is England's last and only chance

 

[Nikhhil98]

This bloke sundar got 0 n 0 in last 2 innings

But has played avsolute clutch inninga wen mattered

Now , in australia amd that quickfire 20 at gabba !!!

He seems some player with bat in crisis

 

[Oligochaetes]

What a shot by Pant, to welcome Anderson !

 

[Devadwal]

Wow what a shot by pant

 

[MP2011]

Pant hits Jimmy over his head, walking down the pitch!

And another boundary!

 

[Oligochaetes]

another :

 

[Sir-fraz]

Panth dont give 2 fs lol

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Brilliant inning so far from Pant.

 

[MP2011]

Great comeback by Jimmy!

 

[Sir-fraz]

Brilliant inning so far from Pant.

Yea hes my fav wkt keeper batsmen right now.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Pant has played quite a few match winning innings so early into his career.

 

[Rajdeep]

Oh man....England missed Archer big time this game. They need to read the pitches properly going forward. Played 3 seamers in last test which was a dust bowl and only 1.5 fast bowlers here

Shiws the leadership is kinda weak

 

[Smbhayi]

Why do they keep bowling Stokes..

 

[Sir-fraz]

Root is a pretty avg captain. Rotation of bowlers is a little better. But his reading of pitches and selections have been horrendous.

 

[Smbhayi]

Shot Sundar..

 

[MP2011]

Stokes has totally lost it. Futile to make him bowl any more overs.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Stokes has totally lost it. Futile to make him bowl any more overs.

Hes clearly tired.

 

[Smbhayi]

Four again by Sundar..

 

[MP2011]

48 off last 29 balls.

 

[Last Monetarist]

This is another horrible misjudgment of the pitch by Silverwood and Root. I suspect they were pressured by the media reaction after the last test to recall Bess.

 

[Rajdeep]

Stokes never bowled so much in a test match. He is clearly struggling on this heat...take him off Root. Its risking an injury

 

[MP2011]

Hes clearly tired.

Yeah. 13 off that Stokes over.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Game on. Poor decision to take new ball in hindsight. But i guess they had to take it.

 

[Smbhayi]

Leach only bowled 19 overs while Stokes bowled 21 and Anderson 18.. Not good from Root..

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

This pitch has some pace. Archer would have beast here. Just let him rip and bowl fast in short bursts.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India running away with game now.

 

[Devadwal]

Reverse sweep to Jimmy .r u kidding me ??

 

[Smbhayi]

Reverse paddle against Anderson.. And 103 partnership BTW Pant & Sundar..

 

[Sir-fraz]

England need to make stokes the captain. He wouldve been by now, if it wasnt for his club incident. Root and this coaching staff gotta go. Eng is not a top 3 test side.

 

[MP2011]

Reverse sweep off Jimmy?

 

[James]

India effectively closing out the series here.

 

[Manunited18]

Root selected Bess so he's got to back him! Can't hide him, hes got to bowl and if it backfires then deal with it after conclusion of the Test

 

[Devadwal]

Pant on 93 ..he out few time on 93 .

 

[Sir-fraz]

Lol pant is taking this game away

 

[Oligochaetes]

Get your 100 boy! dont waste this chance

 

[Devadwal]

Pant bro just take it easy .you deserve a 100 here

 

[Smbhayi]

Pant need to calm down in 90s..

 

[Smbhayi]

Pant on 93 ..he out few time on 93 .

Crossed now

 

[Nikhhil98]

England need to make stokes the captain. He wouldve been by now, if it wasnt for his club incident. Root and this coaching staff gotta go. Eng is not a top 3 test side.

Sehwag ki aatma ghus jati hai pant mei in 90's

 

[Oligochaetes]

Rishabh bats like he doesnt want to get a 100 lol... or like Sehwag wants to get there in 1 ball

 

[Markhor]

Reverse sweeping Jimmy Anderson over slip, that will be replayed in GIF form for many years to come.

England's bowling choices again are questionable. What did Olly Stone do wrong to get dropped ?

 

[Smbhayi]

RR in 9+ after new ball

 

[Smbhayi]

Why are they hiding Leech and Bess?

 

[Oligochaetes]

6 to get to 100... WOW!

 

[Smbhayi]

6 and hundred.. Pant..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Six by Pant to complete hi century

 

[MP2011]

What a way to get his test ton!

 

[Devadwal]

Yeeesssss . Well deserved hundred .batted

 

[Sir-fraz]

Lol i spoke too soon

 

[MP2011]

Pant gone.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Pant needs to keep his concentration after getting to 100, gave it away

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Pant and Washi should school all other so-called "senior batsmen" in the team on how to play Cricket. A tight slap on the face of Rahane, Pujara and Kohli.

 

[Smbhayi]

Throw it away .. Excellent innings by him..

 

[Devadwal]

Out but well played

 

[MP2011]

Threw it away in the end but what an innings!

 

[Sir-fraz]

Too many shots on anderson

 

[Smbhayi]

Need another 50 from here..

 

[Sir-fraz]

These guys need to play their shots and not waste time. Bowlers are tired get runa

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Pant has played a match winning innings here already.

I get feeling he is already India's greatest test wk of all time. MSD is a legend but Pant is miles ahead in test cricket. And he's just getting started

 

[Rajdeep]

Axar Patel to score a 50 here too

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pant you legendary warrior...



Screw the stat boosters..

This guy scores lots..

He scores fast

And he scores in clutch moments

At this rate, hes gonna blow past Gilly one day

 

[MP2011]

What a shot from Axar off Jimmy!

 

[Smbhayi]

Shot by Patel.. 4..

 

[Nikhhil98]

England need to make stokes the captain. He wouldve been by now, if it wasnt for his club incident. Root and this coaching staff gotta go. Eng is not a top 3 test side.

What a shot from Axar off Jimmy!

Patel ? Are u on radio ?

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Pant you legendary warrior...



Screw the stat boosters..

This guy scores lots..

He scores fast

And he scores in clutch moments

At this rate, hes gonna blow past Gilly one day

It's incredible how clutch he is. Legend in making.

 

[MP2011]

And to think Kohli didn't play him in that 36 AO test and preferred Saha over this guy!

 

[Smbhayi]

Patel ? Are u on radio ?

Axar Patel..

 

[Devadwal]

Pant you legendary warrior...



Screw the stat boosters..

This guy scores lots..

He scores fast

And he scores in clutch moments

At this rate, hes gonna blow past Gilly one day

He can change india Fortune overseas with his attacking batting . We already seen his trailer in Australia .next is India tour to England

 

[Smbhayi]

Another 4 by Axar..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lead of around 100 will demotivate England in their next inning.

 

[MP2011]

Sundar has been serene at the other end, totally unaffected by the mayhem being unleashed at the other end.

 

[OMB]

Pant you legendary warrior...



Screw the stat boosters..

This guy scores lots..

He scores fast

And he scores in clutch moments

At this rate, hes gonna blow past Gilly one day

Pls dont jinx .
Kohli Akmal jaisa na ho jaye

 

[Smbhayi]

Patel already scored double his average with those fours..

 

[OMB]

Lead of around 100 will demotivate England in their next inning.

yeah. the body language showing already

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Reverse sweeping Jimmy Anderson over slip, that will be replayed in GIF form for many years to come.

England's bowling choices again are questionable. What did Olly Stone do wrong to get dropped ?

That is 'the shot of the year' for me.

 

[Mesozoic]

Axar Patel..

It was Sundar.

 

[Robert]

This is pathetic from stokes

Exhaustion kicking in. He has been worked too hard because England misread the pitch again.

Exceptional innings by Pant, wearing the bowlers down then hitting out as they tired. Very smart cricket. Probably match winning and series winning.

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol Stokes again.. Poor guy..

 

[Sir-fraz]

Pls dont jinx .
Kohli Akmal jaisa na ho jaye

Biggest match winner in tests ATM.
