WTC final | Pant soldiers on as New Zealand restrict India to 130/5 at lunch
The Hindu
India lost Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane in the morning session
Rishabh Pant adopted a cavalier approach while the big batting stars bungled as India reached 130 for five at lunch on the 'sixth' day of the World Test Championship final against New Zealand here on Wednesday. India currently lead by 98 runs with maximum of 73 overs left in a match where weather robbed two full days of cricket. India would like to bat at least one hour in the post lunch session which might make it difficult for New Zealand to chase a target of around 150 in three hours. Pant's 'devil may care' attitude would have certainly left the Indian dressing room with hearts in their mouths as he went undefeated at the break with 28 off 48 balls to his name. Ravindra Jadeja with 12 off 20 balls is giving him company.More Related News
