On the first day of the Duleep Trophy match between India A and India B, star batsman Rishabh Pant was dismissed for just seven runs. India B batted first to start the match, however they were soon overpowered by India A’s bowling attack.
Sarfaraz Khan added nine runs, while openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Abhimanyu Easwaran scored thirty and thirteen runs, respectively. After taking a few early wickets, Rishabh Pant entered the batting order in an attempt to steady their innings, however he was also dismissed by India A’s bowling assault. The event took place in the game’s 36th over, when Pant was dismissed by Akash Deep on the over’s second delivery.
Shubman Gill, who was sprinting with his back to the ball, dived for it and well caught it.
