Pant fractured his toe on Day 1 of the fourth Test in Manchester and was forced to retire hurt. However, to everyone\u2019s surprise, he made a return to bat on Day 2, scoring 54 runs off 75 balls.

He also cautioned young cricketers against trying to emulate Pant\u2019s fearless and aggressive approach, warning that such reckless batting at a young age could be detrimental to their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
