IND vs ENG Test: 'It is hard for us to understand...' KL Rahul on Rishabh Pant
KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant slammed centuries on Day 4 of the first Test between India and England. (Getty Images) India opener KL Rahul defended Rishabh Pant 's batting approach after the wicketkeeper-batter scored his second century of the match on Day 4 of the first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds. Pant's knock of 118 made him the first Indian wicketkeeper to score two centuries in a Test match and only the second keeper after Andy Flower to achieve this feat. Pant's innings, which came on a challenging surface, helped India set a target of 371 for England to chase on the final day. Despite playing some questionable shots early in his innings, Pant reached his century in the 70th over off Shoaib Bashir's bowling. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The 27-year-old keeper-batsman's aggressive style of play has often been a subject of debate, but Rahul emphasised that there is a clear method behind Pant's approach to batting in Test cricket. "It is hard for us to understand his mindset but you let Rishabh Pant be Rishabh Pant. There is obviously a method to his madness as he is averaging 45 in Test cricket. There is a lot of thinking about the outrageous shots he plays. You just try to calm him down as much as possible between balls," Rahul told reporters after the day's play. The historic achievement by Pant has put India in a strong position going into the final day of the Test match. England started their chase, reaching 21/0 in six overs at stumps, with Zak Crawley showing more resilience compared to his first innings dismissal. Rahul expressed confidence about the match situation while acknowledging the challenge ahead. "It's a blockbuster finish waiting tomorrow. At this stage of cricket I'm at, I'm a lot more calm in my head and not chasing numbers. Someone's got to win tomorrow, it'll be an interesting day," he said. The Karnataka-born cricketer also pointed out the deteriorating batting conditions. "The wicket is not as easy as the first innings, they won't find it as easy to hit the ball on the rise," Rahul added, suggesting the target of 371 would be challenging for the home team.

'He's Doing The Best He Can': Manjrekar Backs Prasidh's Selection In Playing XI
Last Updated: Prasidh was preferred over Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh in India's playing XI for the ongoing first Test of the five-match series against England. Former Indian batter Sanjay Manjrekar on Sunday (June 22) backed Indian team management's decision to include Prasidh Krishna in the playing XI for the ongoing first Test against England in Leeds. According to Manjrekar, who has now donned the hat of an expert and commentator, Krishna is India's No. 2 seamer, and he is bowling better than Mohammed Siraj. He feels the Karnataka-based fast bowler is doing the best he can, and if he manages to get a couple of wickets, then it will help him build confidence, and he might get better. 'If you see Prasidh Krishna in this Test match as opposed to the Test he played for India earlier in South Africa, he's looked the best to me. Yesterday (Saturday, June 21), although he didn't quite get the wickets, he was still India's number two seamer. He was better than Mohammed Siraj, certainly more potent than Shardul Thakur. So, India made the right choice and went for him; this is Prasidh Krishna doing the best he can. With time, if he gets a couple of wickets and builds confidence, he might just get better and better. I will not be critical of Prasidh Krishna with the way he's bowled—he has done everything he possibly could to the best of his ability," Manjrekar said on 'Match Centre Live' after the first session on Day 3. After failing to take any wicket for India on Day 2 of the Leeds Test, Prasidh helped India get off to a flying start on Day 3, as on the first ball of his second over of the day, he dismissed Ollie Pope. The right-handed batter was caught behind by Rishabh Pant after making 106 runs from 137 balls with the help of 14 fours. Krishna, who last played a Test match for India against Australia in Sydney from January 3-5, 2025, managed to retain his place in the red-ball squad for the England tour by producing a super show for the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. He played 15 matches for the Shubman Gill-led side in IPL this year and picked up 25 wickets, which was the most by any bowler. First Published: June 22, 2025, 19:46 IST
