Sarfaraz Khan scored the first century of his Test career, while Rishabh Pant is at the crease scoring his 12th Test half-century. There was also a century partnership between the two for the fourth wicket. Sarfaraz is present at the crease after scoring 125 runs and Pant has scored 53 runs.

VIDEO: Sarfaraz Khan did a strange thing to save Rishabh Pant from run out, video went viral
At present Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan are batting brilliantly. Rishabh Pant Sarfaraz Khan Run Out Video Sarfaraz Khan scored a brilliant century on the fourth day of the first Test being played against New Zealand. However, even before completing his century, he did something whose video is going viral on social media. Rishabh Pant came to the field to bat along with Sarfaraz on the fourth day. Pant narrowly escaped being run out in the seventh over of the day. During this, Sarfaraz did something, the video of which is now going viral. Sarfaraz played Matt Henry’s ball towards backward point, he ran the first run quickly, but then seeing the ball in the fielder’s hand, did not go for the second run. However, Pant did not look at him and started running for the second run. Pant had crossed more than half the pitch and on the other hand, Sarfaraz was trying his best to stop him. When Rishabh Pant narrowly escaped being run out To stop Rishabh, Sarfaraz shouted loudly and started jumping on the pitch. He was also shaking both his hands so that somehow Pant could see that he was not going to run. Eventually Pant saw him and returned back to his crease. During this, Devon Conway also made a bad throw and wicketkeeper Tom Blundell, who caught it, also made a big mistake. First Blundell moved away from the wicket to catch the throw and then he could not understand what to do. Instead of hitting the ball at the striker’s end, he attempted a throw at the other end but the ball remained in his hands. Because of this Pant narrowly escaped being run out. Talking about the match, before the fourth day’s play was stopped due to rain, the brilliant batting of Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant brought India back into the match. Sarfaraz Khan scored the first century of his Test career, while Rishabh Pant is at the crease scoring his 12th Test half-century. There was also a century partnership between the two for the fourth wicket. Sarfaraz is present at the crease after scoring 125 runs and Pant has scored 53 runs. India is now 12 runs behind New Zealand and has 7 wickets in hand. Rishabh Pant Sarfaraz Khan Run Out Video Rishabh bhai, Run out is the last thing we need brother.

The fans present at the Chinnaswamy Stadium were also quite surprised by the Hitman’s wicket. In the second innings, the Indian captain scored 52 runs in 63 balls with the help of 8 fours and one six.

IND vs NZ: Rishabh Pant’s knee is swollen: Captain Rohit Sharma gave a big update on his teammate’s injury.
Team India failed to bat well in its first innings and was all out for 46 runs.

Pant suffered this injury when Ravindra Jadeja bowled a great ball to Devon Conway on which the New Zealand player tried to play a big shot. However, the ball did not hit Conway’s bat properly and it went straight to Rishabh Pant’s knee. The Indian wicketkeeper-batsman was seen in pain after this. Not only this, the physio also came to the field to see Rishabh Pant. After some time, Rishabh Pant left the field and went out. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement regarding Rishabh Pant’s injury in the press conference after the match. After the match was over, Rohit Sharma said about Rishabh Pant’s injury, ‘The ball has hit Rishabh Pant’s knee. He got injured at the same place where Rishabh had undergone surgery and now there is some swelling there. We are taking this very seriously. We do not want to take any risk regarding Rishabh Pant. He has had to face a lot of problems for some time now and we are hopeful that today Rishabh Pant will fully recover and tomorrow we can see him back on the field keeping. Let us tell you that Team India failed to bat well in its first innings and was all out for 46 runs. The highest run scorer from the host side was Rishabh Pant who played an inning of 20 runs.
