IND vs BAN: Shubman Gill Heaps Praise On Rishabh Pant After His Century

In an electrifying display of cricket, Rishabh Pant carved out a memorable return to Test cricket on Day 3 at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Scoring a fluent 109 off 128 balls, Pant not only celebrated his sixth Test century but also marked a triumphant comeback after a hiatus of over 20 months, last playing in December 2022.

IND vs BAN: Shubman Gill Heaps Praise On Rishabh Pant After His Century:

A Cautious Start Followed by Fierce Play

Pant began Day 3 cautiously, resuming at 12*. His approach was initially tentative, finding boundaries sporadically until post-drinks when he unleashed his aggressive playbook. His fifty came off 88 deliveries, signaling the onset of his trademark audacious shots – from one-handed sixes over long off to scoops and powerful straight drives. Despite a life on 71, Pant remained unfazed, accelerating post-lunch with a boundary off Shakib Al Hasan followed by a maximum.

The Century Milestone

His journey to the hundred was nothing short of spectacular. Cutting Mehidy Hasan Miraz for four to reach 98, Pant completed his century with a double off the next over, bringing up his second fifty in just 26 balls. This knock not only equaled MS Dhoni’s record for most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper but also showcased Pant’s resilience post-accident.

Social Media Frenzy and Gill’s Reaction

Pant’s century ignited social media, with cricket enthusiasts and celebrities alike hailing his return. However, perhaps the most touching response came from fellow cricketer Shubman Gill. Gill, having witnessed Pant’s struggles and recovery, expressed his joy, saying, “Watching Rishabh Pant score his first 100 after his comeback gives me so much pleasure. I think he also must be feeling really good.” Gill’s words encapsulate the collective sentiment of joy and admiration for Pant’s journey back to the pinnacle of cricket.

Rishabh Pant’s comeback hundred isn’t just a sporting achievement; it’s a testament to human spirit. His performance in Chennai was more than cricket; it was a narrative of overcoming adversity, resilience, and the sheer love for the game. As Pant continues to script his journey, cricket fans globally are reminded of the sport’s profound ability to inspire and heal.
