1st Test: Sarfaraz’s 150, Pant’s 99 Take India Past 400, Extend Lead To 82 Runs
Sarfaraz Khan: A fantastic 150 from Sarfaraz Khan and an exhilarating 99 from Rishabh Pant helped India to 438/6 in 90.2 overs and extend their lead to 82 runs at tea on Day Four of the first Test against New Zealand at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Saturday. But with the duo and K.L. Rahul falling in quick succession, India are effectively 82/6 and New Zealand have fought back their way into the match.
It was a session in which persistent rain disrupted proceedings in the morning, before clearing the way for play to begin at 1:50 pm. From there on, a 177-run partnership between Sarfaraz and Pant for the fourth wicket put India into the lead.
Pant began by smacking, flat-batting and reverse-sweeping to get his early rush of boundaries. After Sarfaraz ramped William O’Rourke for four, Pant cut through the gap and went inside-out to collect more boundaries. Sarfaraz drilled Glenn Phillips for a boundary before getting the single taking him to 150 for the first time in Tests.
