Reflexes

  • Pant scored 146 runs in the opening innings of the 5th Test against England
  • Pant hit 19 fours and 4 sixes in his 111-ball innings.
  • England coach Collingwood greets Pant’s innings

Rishabh Pant single-handedly surprised all the English bowlers on the first day of the fifth Test of the series which was played in Birmingham. Whether Jimmy Anderson or Matthew Potts, Pant brutally thrashed every bowler in England, without discrimination. He played a brilliant 146 innings from 111 balls to put the Brits in a sorry position on their own soil. Of course, on the Edgbaston pitch he made the hosts put on a gruesome scene, but the Brits aren’t about to accept that.

,The English team is not afraid of Pant tickets,

England assistant coach Paul Collingwood believes the English team is undeterred by Pant’s orgy in the crease. Collingwood said the hosts will return in the fifth Test. In this match, when Pant came out to bat, the Indian team was in a pathetic state, they had dropped three wickets for 64 runs. Reaching the fold of it, Virat Kohli also went to the pavilion. Although Shreyas Iyer seemed to have a good touch at first, but with a personal score of 15 runs, he, too, kept going. Until now, the five Indian wickets had fallen in 98 runs. Now Ravindra Jadeja was with Pant in the fold. From here both batted. India scored 338 from seven on the first day on the basis of Rishab’s century. Pant, batting at a strike rate of 131.53 in his 111-ball innings, hit 19 fours and four sixes. This tackle is enough to bow to any opponent.

,Hats off to Pant’s entries,

England assistant coach Collingwood said at the end of the game after seeing Rishabh Pant’s tackle on day one: “I don’t think we’ll be under pressure for long, but I salute Pant’s tackle.” When you play against world class players, there is world class performance. We’re not afraid to go after the goal in the fourth inning. It is clear from our performance in all three games against New Zealand that we are not intimidated by the opposition.

The English batsman will fight back

Collingwood isn’t looking at his team defensively in any way. The reason for his confidence is his present hitters in the team. “We are not playing traditional Test cricket. We try to attack as much as possible and try to take wickets. We don’t want the run rate to drop.

England performed strongly in the three test series against New Zealand. The English batsmen especially showed plenty of aggressive play, with Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes and Joe Root maintaining the team’s run rate of 4.54 in the series. When the English batsmen take to the field in response to Indian tackles, they will try to keep up their old rhythm.
