Viral Video: Rishabh Pant's Incredible Scoop Shot Leaves Fans in Awe!

After Pat Cummins falls to the ground on Day 1 of the Perth Test, Rishabh Pant boldly scoops him for a six over fine leg. On the final ball of the 42nd over, this occurrence occurred. Rishabh Pant might have typically pushed Pat Cummins's longer delivery to mid-on or mid-off, but he bowled it around off. Pant, however, thought of something else. He moved inside the ball's line and hit it over the fine leg fence for a six, although no one could tell what he was thinking.

Some Test cricket players, like Rishabh Pant, utilize extremely unusual shots to great effect, while other batters typically use more conventional cricketing strokes. He produced yet another incredibly impressive shot off the bowling of Australian captain Pat Cummins in the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

While playing a sweep-scoop shot, Rishabh Pant stumbled and nearly lost his footing, nearly hitting the stumps. Although we've seen Pant make this shot a lot in T20 cricket, it was amazing to see him execute it in this particular scenario! It was the series' first six. It was very amazing to watch how Pant crossed across to the off-side and went down to a delivery that was unexpectedly brought to rest where it was.

In reference to the match, India is currently 128-8 after batting first on Day 1 of the First Test in Perth. A number of their players were cut cheaply or for nothing when their top and middle order faltered. With the dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal for eight and 23-ball ducks, respectively, what appeared to be a strong toss to win and a wise move by the Indians gradually deteriorated.
