Rishabh Pant’s runout with the dominant session at Lord’s on the third day of Kl Rahul Mars India
In the 66th time, Rahul was 98 and Pants was 74, and the Indian partnership suddenly broke. Pants tried a quick single after tweaking the ball Ben Stokes With a short cover, it looks like Rahul is going on a strike before the break. There was a brief hesitation between the batsmen, and Rahul was completely committed, but Pants underestimated Stokes’ athleticism. The English skipper gathered and released in one move, firing a direct hit at the end of the non-striker.
Pants appeared quite a bit in his fold, finishing the 141-run stands built on the basis of 198 balls. Stokes cried out in celebration, knowing the impact of the ticket gate. India lost a key batter just before lunch. With clearer communication, especially considering the situation, we could have avoided a runout. The departure of the pants stopped India’s momentum as they were steadily tightening their grip. His firing now leaves slightly exposed middle and lower ranks under pressure.

Indian sessions are still strong despite a delayed setback against the UK
Despite Pants’ unfortunate firing, India was willingly enough to leave. They scored 103 runs in 22.3 overs with an active rating of 4.61, showing control and intention. England’s shortball tactics, Jamie Smith Standing up to his pants, all the stuffed leg-side fields were neutralised by clever counterplay. The innings in the pants were admirable, especially as he suffered a finger injury throughout.
98* Rock Solid’s Rahul protected the pants during difficult spells and effectively rotated the strike. With the deficit dipped to just 139 runs, India’s aim is to drive its first inning lead. All that’s coming is still Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundahl, Two of them contributed well in their final test at Headingley. Bat Lady’s form remains a concern, but the experiences of Jadeha and Sundar are very important. The master’s pitch is beginning to show various bounces.
Here’s how the fans responded:
I have never seen a more selfish cricketer than KL Rahul. To reach his hundred before lunch, he sacrificed his pants without reconsidering. Statistical padding was more important to him than to the team.

Both KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant looked very good throughout the session, but at the end FCKed came up. What was the need for that single FFS? It ruined all the momentum.

oh my god
Rishabh Pant has run out…KL, stupid stupid stupid
KL Rahul put a squeeze on Rishabh Pant for that run.. Kl Rahul was the culprit and Rishabh Pant was exhausted.
Selfish players like Rahul are more burdensome than teams.

What a great way to leave after batting. Rishabh Pant’s this inning is worth more.

Such a shame ended in the context of the game, in a run-up but truly important partnership. A wonderful display of grit and determination while fighting pain from @rishabhpant17 👏🏻 #engvind pic.twitter.com/kabx0fja4w

If Rishabh wasn’t sure of the run, why did he run in the first place? He stopped in the meantime, not to forget. I once performed at the very end of Bashir before lunch. We could have been in such a strong position now. 💔

It’s insanity. It was exhausted while giving Rahul a strike to 98. No no

Flat deck, suns out, major batting conditions, your partner is the most patient man when performing scoring. The worst way to get started here is Pants FFS.

I have no problems when Pants played his brand of cricket and got caught up in the boundaries for the run of play, but this was a stupid, stupid, stupid

Rishabh Pant is, in a way, an overrated victim there. Unless KL Rahul risks going to lunch outside of the century, he is not at risk of that single.

KL Rahul is a man who really gets hooked on pure milestones.
Stupid guy, I hope he doesn’t need a guy like this on our team #klhahu #indvseng
