Prominent cricket analyst Harsha Bhogle recently emphasized the distinctive attributes of Indian player Rishabh Pant in a tweet, claiming that certain players cannot be adequately quantified or described by their numbers. Some athletes are not quantifiable or characterized by their stats. Among them is #RishabhPant,” Bhogle wrote. His assertion challenges both observers and supporters to think about a player’s influence on the game in terms of more than just statistics.

Harsha Bhogle praised him on X: “Some players can neither be measured nor defined by their numbers. #Rishabh Pant is one of them. Don’t worry about how many 100s he has scored or how many he has missed. Measure him by the impact he has on the game”
India was still 212 runs down when the dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman arrived on the Chinnaswamy field on Saturday. The fans were treated to a feast as Pant hit a flurry of boundaries against the Kiwi bowlers. His 99, which he scored at a strike rate of 80.49, was classic Pant and just one run away from another unforgettable century. With 12 fours and four sixes, his knock was more than just runs scored.

Day 4: India vs New Zealand
On Day 4 of the first Test match between India and New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, October 19, India experienced a startling batting collapse. India resumed their second innings at 231-3, and after 177 runs for the fourth wicket from Sarfaraz (150) and Rishabh Pant (99), they reached 408-3. However, they collapsed to 462 all-out after losing seven wickets for 54 runs.
Day 4 in Bengaluru saw Sarfaraz and Pant put on a strong display for India, but all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja (5) and Ravichandran Ashwin (15) also suffered heavy losses, and local kid KL Rahul was out for 12.
Due to extensive rains after India’s innings, play could not resume on DAY 4, so the Stumps were called at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium on 19 October. India scored 462 runs and gave New Zealand a target of 107 runs to win in the first Test of the three-Test series.
Trailing by 125 runs on DAY 3, India managed to take the lead on DAY 4 by 106 runs in the first Test of the three-Test series at Bengaluru.
