Ind vs Eng live: Michael Vaughan lauds Rishabh Pant as Curran brothers are TROLLED

Rishabh Pant has seen several ups and downs already in his young career. While the wicketkeeper-batsman has often come under the scanner for his ordinary glovework, the dynamic left-hander has often made amends with his batting performances. The talented youngster made his much-awaited ODI comeback as he replaced the injured Shreyas Iyer for the second ODI against England. The player made the most of the opportunity as he came up with a sensational knock with the bat and was even lauded by former England captain Michael Vaughan for the same. 

Rishabh Pant vs England 2nd ODI

Pant last played an ODI game back in January 2020. The cricketer powered his way back into the side with exceptional performances against Australia and England. The dynamic left-hander has often used a counter-attacking approach to get an edge over the opposition, and he did the same against England at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Friday. 

Rishabh Pant took the England bowlers to the cleaners and stitched together a stellar 113-run partnership with KL Rahul. The swashbuckling southpaw scored 77 runs from just 40 deliveries. He cleared the ropes on seven occasions during his stay at the crease and also smashed three impressive fours. He received appreciation from all corners for his lion-hearted outing, and cricketer-turned-commentator Michael Vaughan also commended the youngster.
