Rishab Pant Praises Pujara

Sydney, January 04: Team India s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who scored a brilliant unbeaten 159 on the second day of the fourth Test match against Australia on Friday, said anyone who is going through a lean patch can learn a lot while batting alongside Cheteshwar Pujara.

Coming to details, Pant showcased his ability to produce the big hits during his unbeaten knock of 159. His 189-ball stay in the middle was studded with 15 boundaries and a six.

“I don’t think anything changed for me, but the main thing was that I was playing with batsmen this time. Anyone who’s having a lean patch can learn from Pujji bhai (Pujara),” Pant said after the day’s play.

“Most of the time when I got those starts, I was playing with the tail. So if I am batting with the tail, I have to think differently, because most of the time I have to score runs. But when you are batting with a batsman, it’s a different thing. You have seen it today,” Pant added.

Brilliant batting efforts from Pujara (193) and Rishabh Pant, along with a useful contribution from Ravindra Jadeja, helped India continue their domination.
