Day 4 of the first Test match against England at Headingley saw a very successful batting performance by Indian batsmen. India’s standout batsman-wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who scored a century in both innings, is among the game’s top players.
Commentators Michael Vaughan and Sunil Gavaskar talked about the Gabba Hero’s innovative celebration as the fans and experts relished the 27-year-old southpaw’s knock. He did not perform the same somersault celebration that was shown in the first innings, and the two were interested as to why.
Could you describe that celebration? Are you familiar with that? I was also anticipating that flip. When he failed to perform a double flip during commentary, I was a little let down.
“I think your celebration is probably taking this bit too long, but knowing Rishabh Pant, he’s always going to try to improve his celebrations,” Vaughan said on Sony Sports.
“No, this is essentially expressing gratitude to the higher powers, in my opinion. He was looking at something. Gavaskar answered, “He kind of put us on the signal.”
There will be a big pursuit on the last day.
From KL, the centuries India established a realistic goal of 371 runs for the home team thanks to Rahul and Pant. Rahul was India’s top scorer in the innings with 137 runs off 247 deliveries, while Pant scored 118 runs off 140 deliveries. In Test cricket, this was his ninth century or higher.
With openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley at the crease, England finished the day with a 21-0 victory. In the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the Indian bowlers will aim to take all ten wickets and defeat the Ben Stokes-led team, but they still need to score 350 runs to win the match.
