Sydney, which was supposed to be Rishabh Pant's favourite ground where in 2019 he had smashed 159, saw him leaving two important catches at the same venue two years later.
On day 1 of the Sydney Test between India and Australia, Rishabh Pant was guilty of dropping two catches in just three overs.
Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj were the unlucky bowlers and the batsman to benefit the most was young debutant Will Pucovski.
Seeing the way Pant dropped these catches has got netizens talking as they believe its time for Wriddhiman Saha to come back.

Will Pucovski scored a fifty on debut, Marnus Labuschagne roared back to form with a superb fifty and Steve Smith went straight up attacking against his nemesis - R Ashwin.
At stumps on Day 1, Australia finished on 166/2 against India in a rain-curtailed opening day of the match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
