1st Test: Tendulkar Lauds Mind Games By Pant-Gill: 'Not Just Casual Talk, They Were Disrupting Rhythm'
Lucknow Super Giants: Former India great Sachin Tendulkar took to social media to highlight the ‘mind games’ that Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill were playing on the English bowlers during their 209-run stand for the fourth wicket in the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
Resuming Day 2 of the first Test on 65 not out, Pant displayed immense maturity and poise in the early hours of play. Pant absorbed the early pressure from England’s bowlers before unleashing his trademark attacking strokes.
He reached his century mark with a six off Shoaib Bashir and then broke out into his trademark somersault celebration. He played a valuable knock of 134 before being caught plumb by Josh Tongue. “Rishabh’s celebration is as entertaining as his batting! Well done, Rishabh,” posted Sachin.
