Rishabh Pant, who had a forgettable outing during India’s first Twenty (International) T 20 I) against Bangladesh, was once again at the receiving end early in the second T 20 I in Rajkot on Thursday. After India’s stand-in skipperRohit Sharmaopted to bowl in his(th T) I match, Liton Das and Mohammad Naim gave Bangladesh a solid start. The visitors’ opening pair frustrated the hosts with their 60 – run partnership. Liton Das and Mohammad Naim batted with intent but their stand was not chance less. In the 6th over bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal, Liton Das charged down the track but was totally beaten by the turn. It was an easy stumping chance for Pant but the delivery was declared a no-ball. Third umpire Anil Chaudhary gave a lifeline to Liton Das as Pant had grabbed the ball slightly in front of the stumps.
