"rishabh-pant"

Ashwin has already taken 17 wickets in the series against England so far and is expected to add some more to his kitty in the third Test beginning here on Wednesday

Wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant, all-rounder Axar Patel and pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar also returned to a fresh-looking squad.

"His glove work was automatically of high class as he was in the right position to collect the ball," said former Indian wicketkeeper Sadanand Viswanath

Ashwin remains seventh in the bowlers' rankings but he has gained 33 rating points to reach within three points of sixth-ranked Stuart Broad and to within 21 of second-ranked Neil Wagner.

I am extremely impressed with Rishabh Pant's keeping today. I spent a lot of time with Ricky Ponting recently in Australia and he was praising Rishabh Pant's work ethic a lot.

After playing a key role in India's incredible series win in Australia last month, Pant said the comparisons with Dhoni are flattering but added he wants to carve his own identity in the game

The pacer also said that the Australian side would have their plans ready for Pant when India and Australia lock horns again. Pant had played a match-winning knock of 89 runs to help the visitors breach the Gabba Fortress

Pant scored a scintillating 91 before departing going for a big shot off Dom Bess.

Pant scored a 97 at Sydney and an unbeaten 89 at Brisbane that powered India to an incredible series win against arch-rivals Australia Down Under.

At the end of the second session, Jos Buttler and Ollie Pope were batting on 14 and 18 respectively, having stitched together a 18-run partnership for the sixth wicket.

The England off-spinner, however, kept his calm and continued with the interaction.

Nearly 150 people were still feared missing and many killed and as many as 14 bodies have been recovered after the tragic incident that took place on Sunday morning.

Pujara believes that a talent like Pant will learn from his mistakes as he has the ability to rectify and play for the team's cause.

At the tea break, India's score reads 154/4, trailing the visitors by 424 runs.

India took reviews in the 108th and 109th overs but both of them were turned down.

Kohli believes that his bonding with Rahane off the field also helps in their on-field relationship.

The International Cricket Council announced the nominees for the inaugural Player of the Month Awards which will "recognise and celebrate the best performances from both male and female cricketers across all forms of international cricket throughout the year".

The chants (meaning here comes our Ajinkya) were heard amid the beating of the traditional dhol tasha and showering of flower petals at Rahane's residential complex
