Netizens laud Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant for blistering knocks in 1st Test against New Zealand

Netizens lauded Sarfaraz Khan and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for their blistering knocks in the first Test against New Zealand. After a forgetful first innings for India, Pant and Khan came up with powerful knocks to keep the side floating in the Test. Notably, India and New Zealand are clashing against each other in the first of the three-match Test series at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Batting first, India had posted 46 runs on the scoreboard in the first inning, their lowest-ever home score in Test cricket. 

The fourth day of the game began with Khan resuming at 70, and along with Rishabh Pant on the other hand, he helped India recover from a below-par innings. Khan and Pant built a crucial 113-run stand with Pant reaching his 12th Test fifty and Khan recording his maiden Test century.
