Rishabh Pant Smashes 121 Off 94 In India's Intra-squad Match
Ahead of day 2 of the intra-squad match, the BCCI on Saturday released a highlight of day 1 and also revealed key scores. To no surprise, Rishabh Pant seems to have carried his form to England from the Australia tour last year, as he clobbered a fiery century against the likes of one of the best pace bowling attack that India has boasted of. As per BCCI, Pant hammered 121 runs off just 94 deliveries and on the very first day of the practice match. While the stage was set on fire by Rishabh Pant, the stage itself was set by Shubman Gill, who has most likely cemented his spot alongside Rohit Sharma for the ultimate clash against the Kiwis. Gill got off to a steady start as he played an instrumental knock of 85 runs off 135 deliveries.
