WATCH: Rishabh Pant BRUTALIZES Scott Boland, opens his account with huge six in second innings

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant came out to bat with the visitors looking in a spot of bother at 59/3, having just lost star batter Virat Kohli. Despite being under massive pressure, the 27-year-old opened his account with a big six down the ground on the first ball he faced.

The video of Pant’s first-ball six off Scott Boland’s bowling went viral on social media within no time. Pant’s six off Boland was the seventh instance of an Indian batter hitting a six off the first ball of an innings in Tests and only the second time that it happened in an away Test.

Pant showed a completely opposite attitude than what he showed in the first innings of the Sydney Test. The 27-year-old batted quite sensibly, scoring 40 runs off 98 deliveries in the first innings and was the top-scorer for the Men in Blue.

The wicketkeeper-batter came out to bat after Boland dismissed Kohli for just 6 runs on the first ball of the 14th over of India’s second innings.
