The star wicketkeeper-batter, however, was unlucky to miss out on his seventh Test hundred. He was dismissed for 99 runs in just 105 balls which he scored on the back of nine fours and five sixes.
Pant has been in great touch and came up with yet another remarkable effort with the bat to help India bounce back in the match.
He stitched an incredible partnership of 177 runs for the fourth wicket with Sarfaraz Khan with the latter also hitting his maiden Test hundred.
