Star India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant was hilariously seen helping Bangladesh set the field during his batting on Day 3 of the first Test at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Pant and Gill resumed India’s innings on the overnight score of 81/3 and took the team’s past 400.
During their partnership, a hilarious moment was also witnessed as Pant helped Bangladesh set up fielding for his own batting. Between overs, Pant was heard on the stump mic saying “one fielder here” pointing in the direction of mid-wicket. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto even listened to Pant’s advice and moved the fielder in the same position.
IND vs BAN 1st Test Day 3 Live
Watch the incident here:
Pant resumed his innings on the overnight score of 12* (13) and started the day cautiously. However, at the other end, Gill put his wide array of strokes on display as he smacked back to back sixes against Mehidy Hasan Miraz and brought up his half century. Pant also found occasional boundaries and moved to 36 by the drinks break.
He also brought up his half century on his Test return after over 20 months and registered his second consecutive fifty against Bangladesh in as many matches. After completing their respective half centuries, Pant and Gill launched an all out attack against Bangladesh bowlers and completed their 100-run partnership.
The southpaw even got a life on 71 as he was dropped by Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto on the bowling of Shakib Al Hasan. Pant (86*) and Gill (82*) took India to lunch unscathed as they were 205/3 leading by 432 runs. The duo extended their partnership to 138 leaving Bangladesh in all sorts of trouble.
