In January 2025, at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) during the fifth Test match between India and Australia, there was an absurd moment that made everyone very happy. Rishabh Pant was batting in the 46th against Beau Webster, who was playing his first match, when he hit a very big hit that went over the boundary. The ball went flying deep into the stands, and it was both incredible and silly because the ground staff actually had to get a ladder to go obtain the ball back.

Pant's hit was not only extremely strong but also really accurate.

The shot from Pant was so powerful and perfectly done, it clearly demonstrated how he's noticeably about attacking when he bats. All the people on social media were discussing it, saying how brave Pant is and how amazing he played. A few people even thought it was the best moment of the year.

Pant proved he's utterly tough and difficult, despite taking hits from Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland, he didn't quit. He faced some hard times during the season but what really shined was his determination and batting skills.

Pant repeated the action! A major hit he just smacked down has definitely stretched his record of exceptionally wonderful performances, really showing us he's not only any player in cricket he's seriously brave and very exciting to watch. By just performing his role on the field, he manages to pull all eyes towards him every time he plays.Moves like that simply show his style of playing is characterized by bravery.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul were dismissed for scores of 10 and 4 runs, respectively. Shubman Gill contributed 20 runs to the total, while Virat Kohli made 17 runs. With four wickets lost early, star batter Rishabh Pant has been working hard to steady the innings for his team.
