Rishabh Pant was out for 37 off 58 balls as India collapsed from 276 for 3 to 364 all out on Day 2 of the second Test at Lord’s.
Writing in his column for The Daily Mail, Lloyd talked about Rishabh Pant’s batting style:
Rishabh Pant’s batting on the tour of England has divided opinion. While some experts are in sync with Lloyd’s view, others feel the left-hander ought to adapt to the situation. Rishabh Pant scored 4 and 41 in the WTC final against New Zealand and a quickfire 25 in the first Test against England in Nottingham.
In his column, Lloyd praised England’s fightback on Day 2 but added that Rory Burns’ wicket late in the day was disappointing.
Rishabh Pant tried to persuade Virat Kohli against taking DRS
While England fought hard on Day 2 at Lord’s, India kicked themselves in the foot by burning two lbw reviews in a desperate attempt to get England captain Joe Root’s wicket. Mohammed Siraj was the bowler on both occasions.
After the first review was wasted, Rishabh Pant tried to stop Indian captain Virat Kohli from taking the second. However, the skipper ignored the wicketkeeper’s views and went ahead with the DRS. India ended up losing their second review as well. Both times, the ball was clearly missing the stumps.
The video of Rishabh Pant trying to persuade Kohli against taking the DRS has gone viral on social media.
