Of course, in the third Test match played between India and New Zealand, Team India had to face defeat by 25 runs but wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant left no stone unturned to win the hearts of the fans with his batting. Pant played an innings of 64 runs in 57 balls before getting out after lunch and as long as he was there, Team India seemed to be winning the match easily but as soon as he was out, India's defeat was also certain.

However, Pant's wicket remained one of the most controversial dismissals till date. Rishabh Pant tried his best to convince the umpire that the ball had hit the bat pad and not the bat, but the third umpire had other intentions and he gave Pant out and Pant's brilliant innings came to an end. After getting out, Pant was so disappointed and broken that he could not even lift his feet to go to the pavilion.

Currently, a video is going viral on social media in which it can be seen that Pant is in despair after getting out and goes very slowly to go to the pavilion. Any Indian fan can drown in a sea of despair after watching this video. You can watch this heartbreaking video below.

If we talk about this controversial out, then this incident was seen in the 22nd over of the second innings of the Indian team when Ajaz Patel bowled a good length ball outside the off stump, Pant came out of the crease to defend this ball but He failed to reach the pitch of the ball and the ball went into the air after passing through his bat and hitting the pad. Kiwi wicketkeeper Tom Blundell went ahead and caught the ball without any hesitation.

Although the umpire gave not out after the appeal of the New Zealand players, the Kiwis convinced their captain to take a review in the last seconds of the timer. Replays then showed the ball, pad and bat were all close to each other and there was also a spike in the ultra-edge. While Pant strongly believed that the spike was not caused by the ball touching the bat but by the bat hitting the front pad, TV umpire Paul Rifle felt that there was contact between the bat and the ball and overturned the on-field umpire's decision. Pant was given out.
