India vs England Test: 'Biggest applause since Tendulkar': Stuart Broad makes massive Rishabh Pant comparison after explosive ton

Rishabh Pant celebrating his century vs England on Day 4 India's star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant continued his red-hot form with another explosive century on Day 4 of the first Test against England at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds on Monday. Pant's 118 off 140 balls powered India to a commanding 364, extending their stronghold in what has been a riveting contest so far. Pant, who also struck 134 in the first innings, became the first Indian wicketkeeper to score centuries in both innings of a Test match — a feat previously achieved only by Zimbabwe's Andy Flower (142 & 199* vs South Africa in 2001). With this, Pant underlined once again why he's considered box office in whites. Never a dull moment with the 27-year-old at the crease, no matter the conditions. The Headingley crowd, known for its appreciation of quality cricket, gave Pant a send-off worthy of legends. The former England pacer Stuart Broad , when speaking in his podcast 'For The Love Of Cricket', highlighted the crowd's gesture with the biggest of comparisons. " One thing I noticed when he was walking off with both hundreds, the Headingley crowd were all on their feet, really appreciating everything that he'd done and the quality he'd shown. English crowds have always been supportive of opposition players when they do well, but this was probably the biggest sort of clap and hand I'd seen since (Sachin) Tendulkar's last tour here ." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 유일한 공식 무료 SOC 게임! 설치도 없습니다! 경복의 바다 게임 플레이 Undo IND vs ENG 1st Test: KL Rahul's grit, Rishabh Pant's fire keep India alive Pant's numbers continue to grow in stature.

Bumrah shares valuable advice to on mastering Dukes ball, English conditions: 'The length has to...'

Indian pace star Jasprit Bumrah, who collected his 14th Test five-for earlier in the first Test against England at Headingley, shared valuable inputs on dealing with the Dukes ball and bowling in English conditions ahead of start of play on Day 5. read more Jasprit Bumrah helped India bowl England out for 465 and collect a slender six-run lead with a haul of 5/83 earlier in the first Test at Headingley. Reuters Jasprit Bumrah isn't just the standout bowler in the current Indian attack; he certainly makes a strong case for being rated as the world's best across formats in the current generation, and is also among the greatest bowlers to have played the game. And he has stood out from other bowlers in the first Test against England at Headingley , where he registered his 14th Test five-for in the first innings to help India collect a slender six-run lead and is also carrying the hopes of his team and a billion fans in Gill and Co's defence of a 371-run target. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Bumrah compares Dukes and Kookaburra balls Ahead of start of play on the fifth day, Bumrah shared some insights into operating with the Dukes ball and what it takes to be an effective bowler in English conditions, advice which Mohammed Siraj and the rest of the Indian seamers need to implement on the final day as well as in the remainder of the ongoing series. 'In Australia, there is more seam movement than swing with the Kookaburra ball and the wickets have more bounce. Over here, with the Dukes ball, the length has to be a little fuller to make ball swing and talk,' Bumrah said in an interview ahead of start of play. 'I have learnt this over the years, all these adjustments – this is my third Test tour here. So I have gathered that something it came take time to do that, especially coming from the IPL, where with the white-ball, you bowl the back of a length ball, use variations. 'In the preparation that was the communication that was going on from me to the bowlers as well, that you need to bowl a little fuller and try to forget the ODI length,' he added. Bumrah remained the standout Indian bowler at the end of the morning session on Day 5, conceding 21 runs from nine overs, with Siraj and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja also bowling economical spells. Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur, however, continued to struggle at Headingley as they leaked 38 and 17 runs respectively at a rate above six and five per over respectively as openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley helped England race to 117/0 at lunch.
