Rishabh Pant Gabba Score Border Gavaskar Trophy: Rishabh Pant’s hangover has hit the Australian cricket team so much that ‘Pant’s name has been featured in the Australian media before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Be it T20, ODI or Test, this wicketkeeper batsman of India is known for his flamboyant batting style. Apart from this, Pant is also not behind in sledging and a few days ago a video of Pat Cummins went viral, in which he was giving his reaction on Rishabh Pant’s sledging. After all, what is the reason that the Australian team is feeling so scared of the name Rishabh Pant.
Why is Australia afraid of Rishabh Pant?
The Kangaroo team will probably not be able to forget that innings in the year 2021 for many decades, when Rishabh Pant single-handedly took Team India to victory at the Gaba ground. In fact, after three matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy held during 2020-2021, India and Australia were tied at one each. The last match was played at Gaba ground, where Team India got the target of 328 runs in the fourth innings.
Seeing the 61-run partnership between Rishabh Pant and Cheteshwar Pujara in that match, it seemed as if India would be successful in drawing the match. But after the fall of Pujara’s wicket, the Kangaroo team must be thinking that India will go into defensive mode. But instead of adopting defensive strategy, Rishabh Pant defeated the Australian bowlers in a very aggressive manner. Pant played an unbeaten inning of 89 runs in that match, whose importance was no less than a double century. This victory was special because no one had been able to defeat Australia in a Test match at the Gabba ground till 28 years before 2021, but India had created history by doing so.
Rishabh Pant’s figures against Australia are excellent
Statistics show that Rishabh Pant enjoys thrashing Australian bowlers. So far in the history of Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he has scored 624 runs in 12 innings of 7 matches. The name ‘Pant’ has also become a matter of concern for the Kangaroo team because his average in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is 62.40. Pant is scoring the best average among current Indian cricketers in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
