‌IND vs NZ | Twitter, Rahul, and Kiwis in awe as ‘Pantastic’ Pant blows Southee for colossal top-tier six 

Having wrapped up for a shoddy 46 in the first innings, the top five’s endeavours helped India bounce back to a certain extent at the end of the third day. With the sky turning gloomy at the start of the fourth day, Rishabh Pant joined hands with Sarfaraz Khan and stitched a massive partnership for the fourth wicket-keeping the Kiwis at bay despite a rain break during the Lunch break. However, the second new ball did the trick for the visitors with Southee getting the better of Sarfaraz for 150, paving the way for a colossal blow from Pant.

After a bye four and a dot in the first couple of balls, the third ball of the 87th over saw Southee come around the wicket wide of the crease and bowl a length ball into Pant. The left-hander came inside the line and clobbered it off the willow’s sweet spot. The timing was so sweet that the red cherry soared all the way to the top tier towards the Cubbon Park region with the screen reflecting a 107-meter biggie. Seeing the immaculate stroke from Pant, Rahul was seen awed as he stood clueless. Similar was the reaction from Glenn Phillips, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell, and the Twitterverse as well.

Wow!!
