The first Test match played between India and Bangladesh in Chennai ended in just 4 days. As expected, Team India won here very easily. This Test will be remembered in the coming years for the excellent performance of Ravichandran Ashwin, who ensured the team's victory by scoring a century in the first innings and taking 5 wickets in the second innings on his home ground. But apart from Ashwin, this Test will also be remembered for wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who made a comeback in Test cricket with this match and scored a brilliant century. Pant, who played another great innings in Test cricket, also said after the match that he was nervous and also did not want to take any risk.

Everyone was eagerly waiting for this match played in Chepauk. Firstly, Team India was playing Test cricket after 6 months. More importantly, Rishabh Pant was making a comeback in this format after more than one and a half years of the road accident. Pant, who was badly injured in a car crash in December 2022, had played a Test match against Bangladesh even before that accident. Then he made a comeback from IPL in March this year and was also a part of Team India's T20 World Cup victory. Still, the wait was for Test cricket and here he made his comeback from the Chennai Test.

Why was Rishabh Pant nervous?

Pant scored a brilliant century in the second innings of this match and laid the foundation for victory by taking the team out of a difficult situation. Like every time, Pant batted aggressively but he did not get nervous even once after reaching close to the century, rather he was a little nervous about something else. After Team India's victory, Pant said that he was very nervous about this Test, which is natural for Team India while playing any match, but Pant said that the big reason for this was returning to Test after about 2 years. Pant said that Test cricket is close to his heart and hence it is not surprising to have such a feeling on return here.

did not want to take this risk

Pant, who has earned a name for his aggressive, explosive and 'risky' cricket, definitely said that he did not want to take any kind of risk this time. Now what is this risk about? Actually Pant was talking about batting in the second innings. He said that the situation in which he came out to bat in the second innings was not good for Team India. He said that if one more wicket had fallen during that time, the team would have been in trouble, so Pant decided not to take much risk at that time and decided to play according to the situation. His decision proved to be absolutely correct, because he made an excellent partnership of 167 runs with Shubman Gill and scored 109 runs himself.

so got emotional

Pant also said that this century was special for him in many ways and that is why he was emotional after crossing the 100-run mark. He said that his return to Test cricket was very special for him, because after the injury he wanted to play in every format, so this century was emotional for him. Pant also expressed his feelings about playing in Chennai and said that he has always loved playing on this ground.
