3rd Test: Pant's Fifty Takes India To 92/6 At Lunch In Chase Of 147
Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant hammered a brilliant half-century on a turning and crumbling track as India reached 92/6 in 20 overs at lunch on the third day of the third Test, needing 55 more runs to win the match and salvage their pride.
After ending the New Zealand second innings with the addition of just three more runs from the overnight score of 171/9, India needed to chase 147 in the fourth innings to seal victory. Rishabh Pant was batting on 53 with Washington Sundar at six.
But things went haywire as they slumped to 29/5 with Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan failing to apply themselves.
