The England players completely failed to stand against the Indian spinners and had to hand over an enthralling series win to the hosts on day three of the 4th Test.

Pant smashed 101 runs in the fourth Test match to bring back India into the game from a rough patch and built a sturdy partnership with Washington Sundar. Sundar in return, played a thrilling knock of 96 runs to push India in the commanding position. Head coach Ravi Shastri also heaped praises on Pant and stated he has worked harder than anyone else in the camp in the last few months. His constant training related to game and fitness has given him these results.
