India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant narrowly missed out on a century after being dismissed for 81 while attempting an aggressive shot near the tip of the primary session on Day 2 of the one-off Test against Afghanistan in Mullanpur on Sunday, June 7. Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi picked up the wicket.<\/span><\/p>\n Pant continued his innings on Day 2 after bringing up his half-century on the opening day. Early within the session, he received a lifeline when Afghanistan selected to not review an edge that carried to the wicketkeeper. Mixing regular strike rotation with occasional boundaries, Pant built an important 169-run stand for the fourth wicket alongside captain Shubman Gill.<\/span><\/p>\n The left-hander also survived a tense moment in the course of the one hundred and first over because of some casual running between the wickets. While jogging for a single towards the non-striker\u2019s end, he nearly paid the value because the wicketkeeper attempted a direct hit. Pant managed to make his ground only with a desperate late stretch.<\/span><\/p>\n Nonetheless, Pant didn’t make full use of the reprieve as he attempted one other attacking shot against the off-spinner soon after. He stepped out trying to loft the ball over long-off but only managed to mistime it high into the air with little distance. Azmatullah Omarzai adjusted barely at deep mid-off and accomplished a protected catch.

Dhruv Jurel was dismissed soon after following a poor leave, while Rishabh Pant also departed shortly later.
