However, what followed was an uncharacteristically subdued appeal from wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant.&nbsp;Known for his chirpy demeanor and enthusiastic appeals behind the stumps, Pant&#8217;s lack of energy in this instance caught everyone off guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Pathetic behaviour by Rishabh Pant to appeal for Out when there was no Edge.<br><br>How can you do this to an Australian?

Rohit, known for his strategic acumen, also appeared stunned by Pant&#8217;s uncharacteristic behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Outcome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the low-key appeal, the umpire ruled in favor of India, and Mitchell Marsh was given out after scoring just 9 runs.&nbsp;This decision proved crucial for India as they continued their quest for wickets on a challenging Day 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australia&#8217;s Resilience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While India managed to claim the wicket of Marsh, the Australian team showed remarkable resilience, particularly through the efforts of Travis Head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travis Head&#8217;s Counter-Attack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Travis Head unleashed a counter-attacking century that shifted the momentum in Australia&#8217;s favor.&nbsp;His aggressive batting style saw him complete his century off just 111 balls, hitting boundaries all around the park. Head&#8217;s innings was instrumental in helping Australia claim a substantial lead of over 100 runs in the first innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Partnerships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Head&#8217;s 65-run partnership with Marnus Labuschagne (64) for the fourth wicket proved crucial in stabilizing the Australian innings.&nbsp;This stand frustrated the Indian bowlers and put pressure back on the fielding side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">India&#8217;s Bowling Improvements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the challenges, the Indian bowling attack showed marked improvement on Day 2 of the pink-ball Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pacers Step Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting from an overnight score of 86-1, Australia faced a rejuvenated Indian pace attack.&nbsp;Jasprit Bumrah maintained his usual accuracy, while Mohammed Siraj significantly improved his length compared to the first day. Their combined efforts resulted in two quick wickets within the first 40 minutes of play on Day 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Dismissals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nathan McSweeney was caught behind for 39 runs, breaking a 67-run partnership with Labuschagne.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steve Smith edged down the leg side and was caught behind for just 2 runs, giving Bumrah his second wicket of the morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rishabh Pant&#8217;s unenthusiastic appeal during the pink-ball Test match against Australia has undoubtedly been a talking point. While it may have momentarily frustrated his teammates, the incident didn&#8217;t prevent India from claiming the crucial wicket of Mitchell Marsh. As the match progresses, it will be interesting to see how this event impacts team dynamics and Pant&#8217;s approach behind the stumps. The contest between bat and ball remains finely poised, with both teams showing moments of brilliance and vulnerability on an eventful Day 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rishabh Pant&#8217;s unenthusiastic appeal: Rishabh Pant&#8217;s unenthusiastic appeal during the pink-ball Test match against Australia has caused quite a stir, particularly among his teammates Ravichandran Ashwin and Rohit Sharma.
