The young Indian wicket-keeper batsman, Rishabh Pant displayed was at his best in terms of catching behind the stumps on Day 4 of the ongoing first Test of the 5-match series against England at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. The Delhi-lad grabbed a sensational catch to get rid of English opener Dominic Sibley.
The incident took place in the 46th over of England’s second innings bowled by the premier Indian fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. The frontline Indian bowler pitched the ball a bit wide of the off-stump, which the English opener could have left alone. But Sibley somehow went for a drive and found the inner edge that flew to the left side of Rishabh Pant.
