Ishant Sharma and Rishabh Pant have been the best performers in the ongoing India intra-squad practice match in Southampton before the WTC final.
Opener Shubman Gill (85 off 135 balls) and Rishabh Pant (121* off 94 balls) shone with the bat while Ishant Sharma led the wickets tally in India’s intra-squad practice match at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton on Saturday, the BCCI’s Twitter handle posted.
The Indian Test side was playing the second day of the four-day practice game ahead of the June 18 World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand on Saturday.
A video of the game posted by the BCCI earlier had shown multiple snippets, including Pant coming down the track and hitting a six down the ground.
India carried out their first group practice session at a ground adjacent to the Ageas Bowl on Thursday, five days after being allowed staggered training — ghey were allowed to run in the gymnasium and the main playing field at different time slots on completion of the third day of their hard quarantine in the UK.
