Pant’s 64* Keeps India A in Contention in 275 Chase Against South Africa A

His fluent return from an ankle layoff offers timely reassurance before India’s home Tests against South Africa.

Overview

  • India A closed Day 3 at 119 for 4 in Bengaluru with Rishabh Pant unbeaten on 64 off 81 in pursuit of 275.
  • Multiple PTI-fed reports put the requirement at 166 more runs, while some outlets cited 156, reflecting a minor discrepancy.
  • South Africa A were bowled out for 199 in their second innings after starting 30 without loss, setting up the chase.
  • Tanush Kotian took 4 for 26 and Anshul Kamboj 3 for 39 to trigger the visitors’ collapse and keep India A in the match.
  • Pant added 77 with Rajat Patidar, survived a dropped catch on 46 and received cramp treatment during a counterattacking knock; one outlet later reported he fell for 90 early on Day 4, a detail not yet corroborated elsewhere.
