Rishabh Pant’s innings in the Gabba Test was unbelievable and magical, admits Marcus Harris

The duo were sharp, focused and more importantly, brave, with Pujara bearing the brunt of the Australian pace attack. While quick wickets set back India, the presence of Rishabh Pant gave the management a whole lot of confidence. Unlike the innings in Sydney, where the southpaw went after the bowlers from the word go, in Gabba, he was a bit more patient in his effort. 

Eventually, he led the team across the line, with an 89, an effort that will stand tall in the history of Indian cricket. Recalling the loss, Australian opener Marcus Harris admitted that the southpaw’s innings at Gabba was unbelievable and also insisted that he showed his magical touch twice in the series.

But that was not it all, earlier in the day, it was Pujara’s effort that brought India back into the game. The Saurashtra batsman bore the brunt of brute pace, taking it all over his body in an attempt to save his wicket. His effort was not just monumental but his painful innings had caught the attention of the entire world. Harris was another one of them, with the opener calling Pujara’s innings ‘Australian’ and stated that he coped an absolute barrage from the quicks.
