[Watch] Rishabh Pant holes out to long-on for 9 off 11 balls in IND vs BAN 2024 2nd Test

Rishabh Pant departed cheaply in the ongoing second Test against Bangladesh at Green Park in Kanpur on Day 4 (Monday, September 30). The wicketkeeper-batter perished for just nine runs off 11 balls, holing to Hasan Mahmud off Shakib Al Hasan.

The dismissal came in the 20th over of India’s first innings. Shakib fired in a full-length ball outside off and Pant swung his bat hard but failed to get the much-needed elevation, playing it straight to Mahmud at long-on.

Watch Rishabh Pant's wicket below:

With the dismissal, Shakib provided back-to-back wickets for the visitors, dismissing Shubman Gill in a similar fashion at long-off in his previous over.

Rishabh Pant recently scored a Test century against Bangladesh in his comeback Test after 18-plus months. The 26-year-old returned with scores of 39 and 109 as India won the opening Test by 280 runs in Chennai. He, however, blew a good chance of scoring big in the first innings of the second Test.

Shakib Al Hasan strikes twice ft. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant but India stay on top against Bangladesh on Day 4

Shakib Al Hasan struck twice but India looked in top gear during the second Test against Bangladesh on Day 4.

At the time of writing, India were 219/4 after 26 overs, with Virat Kohli (41 off 28) and KL Rahul (30 off 21) at the crease.

Batting first, Bangladesh put up 233 in their first innings. Mominul Haque starred with the bat, scoring 107 not out of 194 deliveries, hitting one six and 17 boundaries. Jasprit Bumrah was the wrecker in chief, picking up three wickets, while Mohammed Siraj, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Akash Deep shared two apiece. Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja took his only wicket to complete 300 scalps in the format.

The Rohit Sharma-led side are already leading the Test series 1-0 following a 280-run win against Bangladesh in Chennai. A 2-0 victory over the visitors will help India consolidate their top spot in the ongoing 2023-25 World Test Championship (WTC) table.

Team India will play a three-match Test series against New Zealand following their home Test series against Bangladesh. The Men in Blue are also scheduled to travel to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series later this year.
