It wasn't even well struck. It was a half push-half block, hit in the gap. There was no mid-off and the ball didn't exactly race to the boundary either. Rather, it seemed to trickle towards the fence. And that is why Pant kept running before he finally punched the air in delight. Unforgettable.
At 9:34 a.m. on Thursday morning, Pant stepped on the ground for the first time since that day. He took the shortest of pauses and closed his eyes before looking around and taking in the sight and slowly, as is his way, joining the team for its training session.
The pause, short as it was, would have been enough to revisit that evening. It must have all seemed so surreal then. For many Indians, it still is.
