Shubhaman Gill and Rishabh Pant did not attack Bangladesh just like that, got success due to this specialty – Read

The hero of Team India’s victory over Bangladesh in the Chennai Test was star all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, who scored a century in the first innings on his home ground and took 6 wickets in the second innings. But apart from him, the performance of some players also proved to be important in this victory, including Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. Both the batsmen scored excellent centuries and made a great partnership. This partnership brought Team India back in the second innings. Apart from the hard work of both of them, their rigorous practice and mutual understanding also contributed a lot to this partnership, which was formed due to a good relationship outside the field.

On the third day of the first Test match against Bangladesh, Gill and Pant made a long partnership. Both the batsmen together added 167 runs in India’s second innings, which knocked Bangladesh out of the match. During this, first Pant scored his sixth Test century. Then shortly after his dismissal, Gill also crossed the hundred mark in Test cricket for the fifth time. On the basis of this, Team India gave Bangladesh a target of 515 runs to win, which proved impossible for them.

This specialty was the reason for the big partnership

After the match is over, Pant has now said that the main reason for his partnership with Gill is their good relationship off the field. Pant revealed this in the video of their partnership posted on social media by BCCI. Pant said that he has understood that if you have a very good relationship with a player off the field, then batting with him becomes easier because then both of them are able to understand each other. Pant said that he has a similar relationship with Gill and that is why both of them were laughing and joking a lot while batting but at the same time were also focusing on their target.

Will you perform well in the second test as well?

Pant scored 109 runs in this innings, while Gill also played an unbeaten innings of 119 runs. This partnership of both was important for Team India. This innings was especially important for Pant because he returned to Test cricket after 21 months and as soon as he came, he scored a century in the first match and put the team in a better position, which led to victory. A similar performance will now be expected from Pant in the Kanpur Test as well, which will start from September 27.
