Lakmal sends Rishabh to the pavilion
In Sri Lanka’s bowling, Lakmal bowled Rishabh in 80.5 overs. The ball took the inner edge of his bat and entered the stamp. Rishabh looked very disappointed after the fall of the wicket. They missed the century by just 4 runs. Good length ball from Lakmal, on middle stump, probably due to fatigue, Rishabh went on to play it lightly. Feet stuck in the crease and there was a big gap between the sit and the pads, the ball went straight in.
5th time out
Rishabh Pant has been out for the 5th time on 90 plus score. Among the nominated wicketkeepers, only MS Dhoni has been run many times. Both MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant have been victims of nervous 90s 5-5 times.
