Indian batter Rishabh Pant showed his typical fearless and fighting spirit when he came up beside the side of the helmet to the blow of Mitchell Starc of the fifth Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The events were definitely a shock to Pant’s conscious mind, although he did not allow history to dictate his actions. Pant, however, came in at a fragile 72/4; however, he did not throw a tantrum and rather showed immense character.
This innings of Pant’s was the perfect example of his dedication and bravery. Though he felt the impact of the bouncer, he managed to fight on and was taking punches to the abdomen and helmet. He gave an atmosphere of confidence to his teammates; at the same time, he saved the Indian team’s innings from getting all out.
Pant played cricket with a tremendous amount of boldness and thus established himself as one of the bravest batsmen of the modern cricketing era. Indeed, his show in Sydney will be contributing to his legend.
