Rishabh Pant Blasts 22 Runs of the Last Over of the Day to Bring Up his Hundred in Pink-ball Tour Match, Twitter Can't Keep Calm

In what was a rather sedate evening of proceedings for the most part of day two of India vs Australia A pink-ball Test at the SCG, India A took control of the match as a depleted Aus bowling fail to test the Indian batters. Mayank Agarwal, Shubman Gill made 60s, while Hanua Vihari notched up a patient 104 off 194 balls, Skipper Ajinkya Rahane pitched in with 38. Then, came Rishabh Pant.

The wicketkeeper-batsman started off in a slow manner before unleashing a flurry of his trademark wild slog sweeps and build good momentum with ended in a 22-run last over assault of Will Sutherland that saw Pant race from 81 to 103 in that over to finish the day one 103* off 71 balls with the help of nine fours and six sixes.

India ended the day at 386/4 with a huge lead of 472 runs over Australia A with one more day of the tour match to go. As for Pant's pyrotechnics, social media was waiting for this from the pocket dynamite for long and finally, they got what they wanted. Here's how the reacted:

Rishabh Pant was 81*(67) before the final over then 0,4,4,6,4,4 and completed hundred from just 73 balls including 9 fours & 6 sixes. What a knock, serious serious player. #RishabhPant @RishabhPant17 pic.twitter.com/oUdTiSYKje

Rishabh Pant is seriously a gun talent, ending the day for India with 22 runs in final over and completed his century in just 73 balls. He's absolute gold hitter of the cricket ball while being in form.

Star of the Day - Rishabh Pant: 100 in just 73 balls. Hanuma Vihari also played really well for his century and couple of fifties from Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal. What a day for the Indian batting unit, domination with aggression in batting. pic.twitter.com/yPSoAx3D0h

Rishabh Pant just scored a 70 ball ton. I think that would be enough for Kohli to go with him in the first test as he could get those valuable quick runs when the team would look for a declaration.#INDAvsAUSA pic.twitter.com/hCkqmbgbuZ
