Pant, Jadeja steady India

December 28, 2024

India 186-5 (54 ovs) vs Aus 474 | Scorecard

Boland starts his new over with a short ball as Pant plays a thumping pull shot for a boundary through square leg.

He defends the next ball and leaves the short ball which is down the leg side.

Pant taps the fifth ball in the gap at midwicket for an easy single and Jadeja defends the last ball.

Pant looking good against the short ball as he plays another pull shot off Cummins for a single.

Jadeja nudges the Aussie skipper with soft hands on the leg side for one, his first run of the day after 17 dots in a row.

Nearly another run out. Pant taps the last ball to mid-off and wants a quick single to retain strike but Jadeja is unmoved. Pant has to hurry back as the fielder at mid-off misses the direct hit.

In the next over, Jadeja glances Boland fine on the leg side for a four.
