Pant returned to Test cricket after recovering from an accident in December 2022. In the second innings, he scored 109 runs, showing a mix of aggressive and controlled batting. He expressed feeling nervous but determined.
“I was jittery, but there was a fire inside me to make it happen. And eventually, I did it. I’m happy, but not thinking about it too much,” he said.
Pant and Shubman Gill formed a 167-run partnership, putting the Bangladesh bowlers under pressure. Pant highlighted their off-field relationship helping on the field.
“When you have a great relationship off the field, it helps on the field. We were having fun, talking about the game, and staying relaxed while focusing on stitching a great partnership,” he said.
India now lead the series 1-0 as they head to Kanpur for the second and final Test starting on Friday.
