AUS A vs IND: Rishabh Pant adds to India's happy headache with blistering century ahead of Adelaide opener

India TV News  

The wicketkeeper's spot remains among the few many questions that India are yet to answer heading into the Adelaide opener against Australia on December 17. On a day when Indian batters, barring Prithvi Shaw, enjoyed a lengthy sighter under the lights as Hanuma Vihari scored a century while Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal added to the board with their respective fifties, hence reducing the work of the Indian think tank, Rishabh Pant added to the management's happy headache with a blistering 73-ball century, which included a 22-run last over, to push for his selection in first Test ahead of Wriddhiman Saha. India are now on overseas soil, gearing up to retain the Border-Gavaskar series, which puts Pant ahead of Saha going by the trend but the youngster warmed the benceh in the opening warm-up tie at the Drummoyne Oval last week before registering a score of just five off 11 in the first innings of the pink ball warm-up game where he was troubled by the short ball before Jack Wildermuth struck his pads plumb. The century might have added to Pant's inclusion for the opener next week, but it has left the management in a dilemma with the more-experienced Saha in the waiting, who was hailed by Virat Kohli as the "best keeper in the world" during the South Africa series, a glimpse of which he had shown with his spectacular catch at deep mid-wicket on Friday without the gloves.
