Since his heroics in Australia, Pant has become India’s first-choice wicketkeeper, and he put in a top performance in the third Test match with the gloves.

Meanwhile, Axar once again stole the limelight by picking 6 for 38 and 5 for 32 in the Test. It was Axar’s maiden 10-wicket haul in only his second Test match.
