In the third Test match between India and New Zealand, India lost by just 25 runs. The Indian team performed very poorly throughout the series against New Zealand and the Indian team lost the series 3-0. New Zealand swept them in this series. The team was aiming to win the third Test match by just 147 runs, but the team went all out and scored 121 runs. However, there was a moment in this match when it looked like Team India was going to win this match. Pant raised the hope but it didn’t happen and Pant got out in a very controversial manner.
Is Rishabh Pant not out yet?
In the Test match against New Zealand, Rishabh Pant scored 64 runs in an innings of 57 balls. During this period, he hit 9 fours and 1 six. When Pant batted, it looked like he could win the match for India. He was dismissed by Eijaz Patel in this match. In fact, Pant moved forward as he wanted to defend Eijaz Patel’s ball. The ball hit his pads and was caught by goalkeeper Tom Brundle.
The New Zealand team appealed loudly after this ball, but the referee did not rule Pant out. Subsequently, New Zealand team captain Tom Latham accepted the comments. It was unclear whether the ball hit the pads or the bat. The third umpire checked the ball for a long time and was ultimately unable to make a correct decision, but he asked the ground umpire to rule Pant out. Since then, all Indian fans, including Pant, were quite surprised by the referee’s decision. Rohit Sharma also spoke about this issue at the press conference.
Rohit Sharma says this
India captain Rohit Sharma said at the post-match press conference that if we said something, it would not have been received well, but if there is no clear decision, then the decision taken on the field should be remain unchanged. This decision is very important to us. Rohit Sharma’s statement made it clear that he was not happy with the umpire’s decision. Apart from this, former South African cricketer AB de Villiers also posted on X about Rishabh Pant. He wrote that Snicko would hear noises as the ball approached the bat and pad. There should be a hotspot in this case.
