Rishabh Pant set to play his career's first pink-ball Test this week
Team India has played two pink-ball Tests so far. Wriddhiman Saha was the Indian cricket team's wicket-keeper in both games. Although Rishabh Pant performed brilliantly in the pink-ball practice match against Australia 'A', the team management did not include him in the Adelaide Test's playing XI.
Since Rishabh Pant has done an excellent job behind the wickets so far in the Test series against England, fans expect Pant to continue in the same manner during the upcoming pink-ball Test.
It will be interesting to see if Rishabh Pant could help the Indian cricket team take an unassailable lead in this crucial ICC World Test Championship series.
