Leicestershire gets a big boost over tourists:-
Responding to 246 for eight declared after a day of multiple rain interruptions, Leicestershire was poised to take a huge lead over the tourists when Pant was in his element.
But Shreyas Iyerβs good catch-off left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja ended the wicketkeeper-batsmanβs chances of getting out.
After this, they were making 138 for six in one leg of the innings. Leicestershireβs first innings ended on 244, two less than Indiaβs total.
Meanwhile, there was an instance where he just hit Yadav for a six. He only used his pace against the bowler, just maneuvering the ball, as can be seen in this video.
