India is set to face New Zealand in the first match of the Test series at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. A humorous moment occurred at the start of the fourth day when Rishabh Pant and Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan experienced a major mix-up while running between the wickets.
Sarfraz was seen jumping and shouting for Pant to return to his crease. Fortunately, after the confusion, Rishabh Pant managed to make it back safely.
Sarfraz Khan has just scored his first Test century on the fourth day and remains unbeaten alongside a solid Rishabh Pant. With Sarfaraz’s impressive ton, India finds itself in a strong position in the match. He has been dominating the bowlers throughout his innings.
The two built a great partnership on the third day, with Virat Kohli also contributing a half-century, although he was unfortunate not to reach a century himself.
After a disappointing batting collapse in the first innings, India has bounced back remarkably. They are now just 62 runs behind with seven wickets in hand, putting them in a commanding position. Sarfaraz’s brilliant century is a key factor in India’s resurgence.

From this standpoint, it’s becoming increasingly challenging for the opposition as India looks poised to take control of the match.
