While Pant has scored centuries in England and South Africa, his milestone moment came in the Gabba Test in Brisbane in 2021, when his unbeaten 89 helped India chase down 328 and conquer the fortress. Coming back to the final, India lost Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja in quick succession while looking to chase down 444 at The Oval. Rahane showed promise, but he too was dismissed for 46, leaving India at 212/6 at the time of writing the report.
