In the 97th over of the final day at The Gabba, Rishabh Pant lofted the ball in the air with six runs needed to seal the series. A naturally aggressive batsman, he was only aiming to finish the game with a maximum over long-off. One would imagine that this was definitely the moment where the trajectory of the match would turn to a more believable outcome. As the ball hovered into the sky, it was natural for a significant section of the Indian fanbase to contemplate on the inevitable. ‘Saini, Siraj, Natarajan. Can they survive?’. But as they say, luck favors the brave. In this case, India were more. They were ‘the battered’, ‘the bruised’.from IndiaTV Sports: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/3p1PpFd
