Rishabh Pant bad shot selection: India’s condition looks bad in the fourth match of the five-match Test series against Australia in Melbourne. The biggest reason for this is that Team India lost 6 wickets within 200 runs and the follow-on is still not postponed.
On the second day of the match, India lost 5 wickets and on the third day, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja batted brilliantly for the first half hour. It seemed that both of them would handle the innings but then Rishabh got out after playing a bad shot. In this way, Pant played an innings of 28 runs in 37 balls and after setting out on the current tour, once again missed playing a big innings.
Rishabh Pant was out after playing a bad shot
A big innings was expected from Rishabh Pant, who was missing out on big scores on the current Australian tour and he started the third day of the fourth Test very well. In the initial overs itself, he expressed his intentions by playing a tremendous shot at mid-on against Australian captain Pat Cummins. However, Rishabh lost his wicket while hitting a big shot at fine leg against Scott Boland in the 56th over of the Indian innings. On the third ball of the over, he tried to play a shot towards fine leg but missed and Nathan Lyon took an easy catch and dismissed him.
