India’s star cricketer Rishabh Pant failed to execute a simple stumping, giving Bangladesh star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan a lifeline on Day 4 of the first Test match between India and Bangladesh on September 22. Pant, who has been known as one of the most efficient keepers, committed the blunder at a crucial juncture of the game. Notably, this incident unfolded during the 47th over of the game when Shakib Al Hasan was steadily moving the visitor’s scoreboard alongside skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto in the fourth inning of the game. In a bid to break the valiant stand, the India captain then later brought back star spinner Ravindra Jadeja into the attack.

However, the Indian all-rounder had an awful start to the over, conceding six runs off his first four balls; he eventually succeeded in deceiving Shakib Al Hasan with his gile. The talismanic star all-rounder bowled a full-length delivery outside the off stump, with the ball thwarting Shakib on the outside edge.
