Australia vs India: Rishabh Pant shows off his acrobatic moves in Sydney

Team India has grounded down Australia in the ongoing fourth and final Test in Sydney. While Cheteshwar Pujara just frustrated them with his style of play, Rishabh Pant also joined him in the action early on the second day and is on his way for a century. The duo added 89 runs for the sixth wicket which deflated the hosts completed and the relaxed Pant showed off his acrobatic moves during the drinks break as well.

In the first session, the partnership between Pant and Pujara was flourishing and things were going pretty good for the visitors. There was a small break in between as the players were playing in the scorching heat. India’s wicketkeeper-batsman, in the meantime, decided to perform a kick-up move. He laid on the ground with his batting pads on and performed kick-up to the perfection which left everyone in his awe.

The official Twitter handle of Cricket Australia, like they have been doing all series, was quick to post the video for avid followers of the game.

Here’s the tweet:

Pant on the way to his second century

Rishabh Pant has displayed the other side of his batting to the world at the SCG. With India in a great position, an innings of substance was needed from him down the order at that moment. Also, the score reading 329/5, the tourists had not posted enough runs on the board and there was a chance for Australia to come back in the game.

But Pant didn’t attack from the word go and gave him some time in the middle. He concentrated on rotating the strike with Pujara batting exceptionally well at the other end. It will be interesting to see if he manages to score a century this time around having managed a couple of the 90s after a scintillating maiden ton in England.
