The great bonhomie that they share off the field is reflected when they are battling it out on the 22 yards, India’s star keeper Rishabh Pant revealed the secret of his successful partnership with Shubman Gill during team’s second innings in the opening Test against Bangladesh. After both Pant and Gill failed to make an impact in the first innings, they conjured a 167-run stand during the second innings, which turned out to be very important in the final context of the match. “When you have a great relationship outside the field, it helps to bat with that guy. We were having fun, having chats, talking about the game, and staying relaxed. At the end of the day, we both knew what we wanted to do,” Pant, who smashed a ton on Test comeback, said in a BCCI video posted on social media.
