India has advanced with Day 3's play at Lord's, as the two batters Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul have put on a 100-run stand between them. KL Rahul has had good form in recent years in Test cricket ever since his return, and Rishabh Pant is a warrior in himself.
Pant is battling with a finger injury, as he can be seen continuously in distress with his fingers, as the physios have been called in to check on the batter multiple times. However, despite both batters having taken command of the innings, for now, nothing seems useful for the English bowlers to dismiss the batter.
Indian wicket-keeper batsman Pant has had a great record in Test cricket outside India. He is slowly surpassing every record as a wicket-keeper batsman, as he has left behind Farokh Engineer as the highest run-getter in England, Australia, and South Africa, with only New Zealand left in his charts among SENA countries.
Pant now goes past former Indian skipper and veteran batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni among Indian batters with the most runs in a test series in England. He now has the most runs by any visiting wicket-keeper batsman in England, as he also went past Tom Blundell, the former record holder for most runs in England as a wicket-keeper.
Pant now also surpasses Farokh Engineer's record of having the most runs in a single Test series by an Indian wicket-keeper batsman. Farokh's record of 415 runs came back in 1972/73 when England toured India; Pant has now gone past his run tally with 416 during the current innings at Lord's.
Most runs for a visiting keeper in a Test series in England:
387* - Rishabh Pant, IND tour of ENG 2025383 - Tom Blundell, NZ tour of ENG 2022350 - Wayne Phillips, The Ashes 1985349 - MS Dhoni, IND tour of ENG 2014349 - Rishabh Pant, IND tour of ENG 2021
KL Rahul and Pant's partnerships in Test Cricket
KL Rahul has batted in several positions for India, from an opener to a middle-order batter, but success has been a known commodity to him. Batting alongside Pant seems to be what he enjoys the most, as the two batters' partnership averages nearly 80 while batting in red-ball cricket.
The two have played 9 innings together, and at the time of writing, they had 650* runs in partnerships between the two batters, at an average of nearly 80. They have had three 100+ run partnerships 3 times before, including the one today at Lord's.
KL Rahul is nearing another mention in the Lord's honours board
KL Rahul might be nearing another huge milestone in the Lord's Test, but this has cost Rishabh Pant his wicket. The two batters looked to do everything right, counterattacking the English bowlers and not letting the game slip away at any point of their partnership.
But just at the stroke of lunch, when KL Rahul was on 98, Rishabh Pant got run out in an attempt to rotate the strike to hand Rahul an opportunity to reach his 100 before lunch. A direct hit from Ben Stokes got England a wicket finally at the stroke of lunch.
