Rishabh Pant became the solution to the problem in Wankhede Stadium, batting aggressively in a different style
Mumbai : On the third day of the third and final Test match being played at Wankhede Stadium, Rishabh Pant batted aggressively and continued to fight single-handedly for India. Looking at the way New Zealand's spin bowlers trapped Team India's batsmen, it seems that the Indian batsmen need to work harder against spin.
While the Indian cricket team was falling apart like a house of cards, Rishabh Pant once again emerged as the savior for the Indian team. He tried his best to handle the Indian innings at Wankhede Stadium. Scored a brilliant half-century before lunch on the third day of the match and is still unbeaten. It is being said that if Rishabh Pant bats for 1 more hour, then the victory of the Indian team will be considered almost certain.

Let us tell you that on the third day of the third and last Test match being played between India and New Zealand, the New Zealand team was all out for only 174 runs. At that time, the victory of the Indian team was considered certain, but the spin bowlers of New Zealand displayed brilliant bowling and scattered the Indian top order like a pack of cards.
Except Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant, no batsman could reach the double figures. Yashasvi Jaiswal could score only 5 runs, while Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Sarfaraz Khan returned to the pavilion after scoring only 1 run each. Ravindra Jadeja made a long partnership with Rishabh Pant, but he too could score only 6 runs.

If seen this way, apart from Rishabh Pant, no batsman could face the New Zealand bowlers. During this time, Rishabh Pant is batting fearlessly in his own style. In this innings he has also hit 7 fours and one six. After lunch, the Indian team still needs 55 runs to win.
