Pant takes attack to India's bowlers!

Leicester: Rishabh Pant, playing for Leicestershire, came back into form after his recent woes in the subcontinent, batting in his signature attacking manner to hog the limelight on the second day of the warmup between India and Leicestershire here.

One among four India players to turn out for the English county side in the practice match meant to help the visitors acclimatise with conditions, Pant knocked his way to an entertaining 76 off 87 balls at Grace Road. During his 154-minute stay in the middle, Pant entertained the crowd with 14 boundaries and a six.

Responding to India's 246/8 declared after a day of multiple rain interruptions, Leicestershire were primed to take a sizable lead over the tourists when Pant was in his element.
