Team India's fightback has been spectacular, thanks to Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant 's partnership against New Zealand. In India's second innings, Pant and Sarfaraz helped Team India regain the lead after the team's historic low score in the first Innings. Team India has been struggling against the Kiwis, but the batters have put up a fightback. However, during the play, Rishabh Pant missed out on his tun after he was dismissed at 99 runs. One more run could have sealed his hundred in Chinnaswamy, but the 99-run dismissal has put him on the list of an unwanted record.

After being dismissed at 99 runs, Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has joined the list of elite cricketers which features MS Dhoni , Sourav Ganguly , Navjot Singh Sidhu, and many more.
