Rishabh Pant produced a knock to be remembered on day 2 of the fourth test against England as he raced to his first test match hundred at home. Having fallen agonizingly short of hundreds in the past few weeks, Pant ensured that there was no repeat of the same by fearlessly taking on the English bowlers. The fact that his 100th run came off a six over the deep mid-wicket fielder was ample proof of the youngster’s confidence.

Pant had come in to bat when India were in a spot of bother. He also lost his well-set partner Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin as India were left reeling at 146/6. However, the 23-year-old stitched together a century stand with Washington Sundar and took India past the lead. The partnership and Pant’s knock ensured that India ended the day in the driver’s seat and in good stead to go on and clinch victory.
