Xtra Time Web Desk: Team India wicket keeper batsman Rishabh Pant announced he has not lost his form as he scored an unbeaten 121 off 94 balls on Day 2 of four day intra squad match at Ageas Bowl. Pant did not spare any senior bowlers in the opponent team including the likes of Shami, Bumrah, Siraj and Ishant. The wicket keeper batsman looked in great touch in the intra squad practice match. Opener Shubman Gill too scored a steady 85 off 135 balls. The talented batsman is most likely to partner Rohit Sharma at the top in the upcoming ICC WTC Final.
Among the bowlers only Ishant Sharma looked in rhythm. The experienced fast bowler took 3 wickets for 36 runs.
The two teams are being led by Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. The first team was packed with the batsmen who are likely to feature in the playing XI for ICC WTC Final. The second team bowling attack will more or less be the same one that is likely to play the WTC Final. The likes of Shami, Bumrah, Siraj, Ishant, Ashwin and Jadeja were in the other side.
The Indian captain was seen rolling his arm against his opposite number KL Rahul. The BCCI uploaded a small video clip of Kohli rolling his arm over after a long time, bowling his gentle seam up stuff to Rahul.
This is the only practice match that the Indians are having ahead of the much hyped ICC WTC Final at the Ageas Bowl starting from June 18.
