There were many performances from the game that stood out, and one of the performances came from star batter Rishabh Pant. The 27-year-old was dismissed on 99 runs in the second innings of the game. After the clash ended and New Zealand won the game by eight wickets, Pant took to X and posted a motivational message on the social media platform. 

“This game will test your limits, knock you down, lift you up, and throw you back again. But those who love it rise stronger every time. Thanks to the amazing Bengaluru crowd for the love, support, and cheers. We will be back stronger,” Pant tweeted.
