Rishabh Pant out: Watch Cameron Green grabs first-rate catch to dismiss Pant in Brisbane Test

Rishabh Pant out: The Indian wicket-keeper batsman was looking good until he got dismissed at the Gabba today.

During the third day of the fourth Test of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia in Brisbane, India wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant continued the visiting batsmen’s trend of playing loose shots to gift their wickets away.

Coming in to bat at No. 6 in the 56th over, Pant did play a couple of eye-catching shots to give hints of being in control at the Gabba. However, it was his attempt to be a tad too innovative which led to his dismissal.

It all happened on the third delivery of the 67th over when Pant looked at hitting a short Josh Hazlewood delivery over the slips for a boundary. Pant, whose bat’s face should’ve been facing skywards for playing that shot, had his bat facing the ground which worked against him.

Having sort of guided the ball to Australia all-rounder Cameron Green at gully, Pant witnessed Green grabbing a stunning catch as the ball went to him in a jiffy. Coming on the back of a breathtaking half-century at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Pant departed after scoring 23 (29) with the help of two fours.

After losing their sixth wicket in Pant, India are in a huge spot of bother. While Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur have played a few exceptional shots till now, a trail of more than 150 runs speaks of a difficult road ahead for the visitors.
