Rishabh Pant missed out on his sixth Test century as he was dismissed on 93 within the first innings of the continuing second Test in opposition to Bangladesh in Mirpur. When Pant arrived on the crease, India had been reeling at 72/3 on Day 2. The guests quickly misplaced the wicket of Virat Kohli (24) as effectively, earlier than Pant, alongside Shreyas Iyer (87), performed a counter-attacking knock to take India previous Bangladesh’s whole of 227 runs. In the tip, India managed to take an 87-run lead, with each Pant and Iyer lacking out on their respective centuries.

Before the beginning of play on Day 3, former India girls’s staff captain Anjum Chopra requested Pant about his mindset, particularly when he’s batting within the 90s.

To this, Pant stated that he’s extra bothered about serving to the staff, somewhat than the landmarks.

“As an individual, I don’t think about the landmark so much. Three figures are just a number for me, I try to play out the situation most of the times. If it happens, it’s good. If it doesn’t, can’t control that. As an individual, I am fine because I knew I was batting well. I didn’t capitalize and I missed my hundred, but happy that Shreyas Iyer and I got our team out of trouble,” Pant informed Anjum earlier than the beginning of play on Day 3.

Notably, this was the sixth time that Pant has acquired out within the ‘nervous 90s’.

So far, Pant has scored 5 centuries and 11 fifties within the longest format of the sport.
