All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy’s throw and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant’s promptness proved to be a boon for the Indian team and India got its 8th success in the Boxing Day Test match. Mitchell Starc had to return to the pavilion due to an excellent throw by Rishabh Pant. This was a big wicket for India, because Starc also bats and at the other end was Pat Cummins, who is known for scoring runs at a very fast pace. The Boxing Day Test match is becoming increasingly exciting. The match is going to last till the fifth day.
Actually, Jasprit Bumrah brought the 59th over of Australia’s second innings. His first ball was played by Mitchell Starc to the left side of square leg and one run was scored. However, he felt that a second run was possible. Starc had earlier called only 2, but Pat Cummins saw that there was only one run here. In such a situation, Cummins stopped, but Starc came forward by that time… Rohit Sharma threw the throw towards the wicketkeeper, where Cummins was safe, but here the promptness of wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant came in handy. You can also see in the video how Pant hit the throw in front and scattered the stumps.
Rishabh Pant first ran fast and reached near the stumps and collected Rohit Sharma’s throw well and as soon as he saw that Mitchell Starc had come forward from the non-strike end, he quickly hit the throw on non-strike which hit the stumps directly and It was seen in the replays that Starc was left far behind. In this way India got its 8th success. Mitchell Starc returned to the pavilion after scoring 5 runs. This wicket was very important, because Starc and Cummins can bat. India would like Australia to be all out as soon as possible.
