The first day of Adelaide Test was not good at all for Team India. The Indian team was first limited to only 180 runs and after that the team also suffered a loss of 35 runs. Let us tell you what happened on the ground of Adelaide Oval? Team India has suffered a loss of 35 runs and the reason for this is Rishabh Pant. Actually, Team India's wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant dropped the catch of Australian opener McSweeney in the 7th over of Australia's innings. At the time when this catch was missed, McSweeney was playing on only 3 runs and after this he had scored 38 runs by the end of the day's play. In this way Team India suffered a loss of 35 runs.

How did Rishabh Pant miss the catch?

Let us now tell you how Pant missed the catch of McSweeney? McSweeney was hit by Bumrah on an outgoing ball. The ball took the outer edge of his bat and was going straight into the hands of Rohit Sharma standing at first slip. But Pant dived and the ball hit his right hand and hit Rohit Sharma and thus McSweeney got a lease of life. This mistake of Pant has caused a lot of loss to Team India. Team India itself is limited to 180 runs and in reply Australia has scored 86 runs for one wicket.

Pant failed even with the bat

Rishabh Pant not only dropped the catch but also failed with the bat. Team India was in trouble in Adelaide and all eyes were on Rishabh Pant but this left-handed batsman was out after scoring only 21 runs. Pant lost his wicket on an excellent bouncer from Pat Cummins. If Pant did not play, Team India's score also could not reach 200 runs. Apart from Nitish Reddy's 42 runs, other batsmen of Team India could not do anything. Virat-Rohit got settled cheaply in front of the pink ball. Virat Kohli scored 7 runs and Rohit Sharma scored 3 runs. Jaiswal was dismissed on the very first ball of the match. Rahul-Gill got the start but both the batsmen were out on 37 and 31 runs.
