Sarfaraz Khan abused Rishabh Pant in the LIVE match
The fourth day of the first Test match being played between India and New Zealand was played on 19 October. The pair of Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant came to the field to bat. Both the batsmen performed brilliantly by putting pressure on the Kiwi bowlers.
However, during this time, a misunderstanding was also seen between the two, due to which they abused each other. Actually, this incident happened on the first ball of the 56th over. Sarfaraz Khan cut Matt Henry’s ball towards backward point.

Rishabh Pant escapes being run out
After this both the players took a single. However, Rishabh Pant ran to take the second run and crossed half the crease. On the other hand, Sarfaraz Khan did not seem interested in this at all and he was seen refusing him. But Rishabh Pant neither paid attention to the ball nor to the batsman standing at the non-striker’s end.
In such a situation, Sarfaraz Khan jumped on the pitch and started shouting to stop him. After Rishabh Pant returned to the crease, he was seen abusing him, after which the Indian wicketkeeper also replied to him by using abusive language.
Tom Blundell gave life
It is worth noting that when Rishabh Pant came out of the crease, it seemed that he would be run out. But New Zealand wicketkeeper batsman Tom Blundell made a mistake in understanding where to hold the ball and delayed throwing the ball. Due to this, Rishabh Pant got a lifeline and the Indian team management as well as the fans heaved a sigh of relief.
