It happened in the 32nd over. On the third ball, Pant dropped to one knee and attempted an ambitious slog sweep against a Chris Woakes delivery that was bowled at a blistering pace of over 130 km/h. The ball took the top edge and flew dangerously towards the fine-leg region, where two fielders were converging. But luck was on Pant’s side as it landed in the gap, and he got four runs.

The commentator even noted how Pant was himself shocked, believing he was about to get caught. However, Pant survived the scare, but his risky play left many disappointed. Dinesh Karthik said on air, “Considering the conditions and the situation of the game, I don't think that was the percentage shot. I know he's got the result, a pretty successful one.”

After the over, Pant looked upset with himself. He was seen talking quietly, telling himself, 'Tez ball hai Rishabh, maarna hai toh seedha lag jaayega naa iss ball pe, kuch alag karne ki zarurat nahi hai.’ Reacting to the same, the commentator said that Pant was reminding himself to use a straight bat and not overdo things, and hoped the batter would follow his own advice.
