NEW DELHI: Rishabh Pant melted hearts with an adorable moment involving a young fan. The wicketkeeper-batter was spotted with the young child after a net session at the MCG. Showing his trademark warmth, he knelt down to the child’s level, shared a sweet conversation.
The heartwarming interaction quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising Pant for his humility and love for his admirers.
The five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy is nicely poised at 1-1 after the third Test ended in a draw at The Gabba in Brisbane.
India took an early lead in the series with a dominant 295-run victory in Perth, but Australia bounced back emphatically, leveling the series with a resounding 10-wicket win in the Pink Ball Test at Adelaide.
The focus now shifts to the Boxing Day Test at the MCG but the fragility of their top order remains a major concern for the tourists.
Across five completed innings in the series, India managed to surpass a 12-run opening stand just once. The sole exception was in the second innings of the series opener in Perth, where Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul combined for a brilliant 201-run partnership, laying the foundation for their commanding victory.
India need to win both matches to make the World Test Championship (WTC) final for the third time in a row without having to rely on other results.
Champions Australia need two wins and a draw in their next four Tests, which include two in Sri Lanka, to be sure of qualification.
