Rishabh Pant joined the long list of India Test team stars who absolutely failed to fire in the second leg of the Ranji Trophy. After being dismissed for just 1 run in the 1st innings of the SAU vs DEL contest, the southpaw was sent packing for 17 runs in the 2nd innings. The game against Saurashtra marked Pant’s return to the domestic red-ball tournament for the first time in seven years.

Ravindra Jadeja had the last laugh in the second innings as he got rid of Pant for 17 runs off 26 deliveries. The Saurashtra all-rounder is arguably the best performer among the Test cricketers taking part in the first round matches of the second leg of Ranji. Pant was caught behind by Sheldon Jackson, bringing the curtains down on what was a miserable innings. He only managed to score one boundary in his 17-run knock.
