New Delhi. The fifth Test between India and Australia is being played in Sydney. The Indian team has come out to bat first. Team India’s batting has not been anything special here. India lost 4 wickets within 100 runs. When Rishabh Pant came to bat, he was seen struggling. Meanwhile, a fast-moving ball also hit his helmet.
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc had come to bowl the 37th over. On the second ball of the 37th over, Starc bowled a bouncer which directly hit the helmet of Rishabh Pant. The ball hit Pant at a speed of 144.6 km per hour. However, the good thing is that Pant did not suffer any injury and is batting continuously. Earlier, Pant was also injured in his arm by Mitchell Starc’s ball. The ball had hit so hard that there was a red mark at the place where it was hit.
This series has not been anything special for Rishabh Pant. Rishabh Pant has scored only 154 runs in 7 innings of 4 matches in this series. If he continues to bat like this, his place may be in danger. India will play the next Test series in the month of June. Which will be against England.
