Rishabh Pant is dismissed for 39 off 62 balls on Day 2 of the ongoing Test match at the Galle International Cricket Stadium, failing to convert another start into a bigger score. The innings ends as he falls short after reaching a platform but not extending it into a substantial total.
Following the dismissal, an ex-India cricketer publicly questions Pant’s “common sense,” referring to the decision and context around his shot selection. NDTV reports that the criticism centers on whether Pant’s approach at that stage of the innings was appropriate, given that similar struggles to convert starts into large contributions have continued.
Both reports focus on Pant’s repeated pattern of not turning starts into big scores during the match. While the specifics of any wider match developments are not detailed in the provided excerpts, the shared emphasis across outlets is on his dismissal at Galle and the resulting scrutiny from a former India player.
