Rishabh Pant played a pivotal role as India built their lead over Australia in the final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, ending Day 2 with a commanding 145-run advantage. At the close of play, India stood at 141-6, maintaining their lead after dismissing Australia for just 181 earlier in the day. Pant’s aggressive batting kept the scoreboard moving despite the mounting pressure, making a vital contribution that gave India a significant edge in the match.
The day started with Australia resuming their innings, but India’s bowlers were relentless, taking wickets consistently. Ravichandran Ashwin and his fellow bowlers claimed crucial wickets, restricting Australia to a modest total. With Australia falling short, India approached their second innings with determination, and Pant, along with the other Indian batsmen, displayed resilience to keep the momentum going, leaving Australia with a considerable challenge ahead.
Pant’s explosive batting ensured India maintained their momentum as they aimed to finish the series on a high note. With Australia under pressure to stage a comeback, India will be looking to further extend their lead in the upcoming sessions of the final Test. As the match unfolds, India will seek to capitalize on their advantage and take control of the series.
With Pant’s brilliance and India’s commanding performance, the match could soon shift decisively in their favor.
