It turned out to be a batting festival for India on the second day of the three-day pink-ball warmup game against Australia ‘A’ on Saturday, with Rishabh Pant running amok with an unbeaten 103 and Hanuma Vihari too scoring a century. The Australia ‘A’ pacers seemed to be weary and merely going through the motions at the end of the day at the SCG, and Pant gave the team management something to think about as he hammered 22 runs off the last over, bowled by tired-looking right-arm medium pacer Jack Wildermuth, to complete his century.
In all probability, the team management may have already settled on Wriddhiman Saha as the main wicketkeeper for the pink-ball Test in Adelaide starting Dec 17. Pant, however, made it clear with his strokeplay that he will be up for the challenge if given an opportunity.
Hanuma Vihari, who will be India’s No. 6 for the Test, also made a statement of intent with a polished 104*, negotiating a difficult phase when the lights were coming on. He was his usual disciplined self, looking to play within the ‘V’ and using his feet well against the spinners.
