ENG vs IND: Rishabh Pant gives his victory champagne to Ravi Shastri

• Pant led India to a remarkable victory in the final ODI.
• He was supported by Pandya.
• Buttler praised Pant’s performance.

Rishabh Pant concluded India’s 2022 England tour in the same manner as he had begun it. The 24-year-brilliant, old’s unfinished 125, along with Hardik Pandya’s outstanding all-round performance helped the Men-in-Blue pull off a heist, as they defeated England by five wickets, with 47 balls remaining, in the third and deciding ODI at Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday.

Jos Buttler, England’s white-ball captain, was in awe of Pant for his explosive century against the hosts, calling the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman “fearless” and a joy to see in all formats.

“Rishabh is a fantastic player. What sets him apart from other players, I think, is his mentality. Rishabh is a fearless cricketer and a fantastic talent,” Buttler stated in the postgame news conference.
