Pant was really entertaining today, may be IPL bidders gave him 27 CR judging him from his test career. Because, no way anyone would pay such amount if they saw him in T20.
Yeh that true he played really good and the more surprising things were when Australian bowlers were in true colors and continuously departing thier main player at that critical time he played ordinary innings of half century with 180+ strike rate like playing t20. Anyway indian team took 140+ lead which I believe should be extend to Atleast 300 to lower Australian chances to victory also bumrah look tired or may be injured as he leave stadium while game so they has to be more careful if supposed bumrah got out too
300 looks impossible as Jadeja-Sundar is last batting pair on crease, 200-220 should be good imo.
Anything over 210 would be a good total imo but the fitness of Bumrah for the 4th inning will be the deciding factor of India's victory because of he is unable to play then even 300 would not be enough against this mighty Aussie.
Regarding Pant he was really exceptional, he is the only player able to play those shots while everyone is struggling to get bat on the ball.
Again the story of Kohli remains same.
I was watching an analysis why he is failing is because of his trigger points which he move sideways with his back foot instead of moving backwards.
