Ace India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has said that since he and Shubman Gill have an excellent relationship off the field, it became easy for both of them to translate it into a successful partnership on the field in the first Test against Bangladesh. The match-winning stand between the two youngsters can thus be owed to the great bond that the duo share beyond the 22 yards. After both Pant and Gill couldn't make an impact in the first innings, they conjured a 167-run partnership during the second innings.After getting together at 67/3 in the 20th over with senior batter Virat Kohli having departed after a mistaken decision, Pant and Gill built a massive partnership for the fourth wicket to take the match away from Bangladesh's grasp virtually. Both of them scored centuries. "When you have a great relationship outside the field, it helps to bat with that guy. We had fun, chatted, talked about the game and stayed relaxed. At the end of the day, we both knew what we wanted to do," Pant said while speaking to BCCI.
A fiery ton, match-winning partnership and that field setting moment 😃
