IND vs SA | Twitter reacts as Rishabh Pant kisses his bat after the willow flies out of hands

India resumed Day 3 of the third and final Test on 57/2 and faced early blows as they lost Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane very early in the first session of the third day's play. However, Virat Kohli, who scored a brilliant half-century in the first innings of the series decider stitched up a 94-run stand along with Rishabh Pant before the former fell to Lungi Ngidi in the 49th over.

Pant, who had a poor outing in the Johannesburg Test, scored an exuberant half-century before lunch on Day 3 in the ongoing Cape Town Test. During the 60th over, the left-hand batsman attempted to play a shot to the deep point, but his bat slipped from his hands and flew to the square leg area. The India wicket-keeper batsman soon took the bat in his hands and kissed it. 

The 24-year-old continued his aggressive batting against the South Africa bowlers and registered his fourth Test century off 133 balls. Pant struck six boundaries and four maximum to reach the three-figure mark against South Africa in the second innings of the Cape Town Test.
