Continuing his form from Australia, Team India's wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant unleashed upon the English bowlers on Friday in the final Test of the series at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The young gun spared no bowler, including England's star Ben Stokes, as he smashed a quickfire 100 to topple England's well-earned lead. After missing out the century by inches in his previous innings, Pant finally breached the 100-run mark on Friday evening just before the end of play on Day 2, with support from Washington Sundar who held the other end sternly.
Pant's fiery knock, not only helped India gain a lead in the first innings of the game but also tired out the English bowlers which could be seen as the visitor's constantly missed out on their lines and lengths. The youngster's knock invited hilarious responses as several netizens jumped to appreciate his fighting century. Here's how netizens reacted:
