Ex-India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin said wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant got hit everywhere on the body and scored 40(98) in India's first innings in Sydney Test against Australia but "it will be the least spoken innings of Pant". "It is very unfair," he stated. Ashwin added people forgot his knock and praised him for his knock of 61(33) in India's second innings.
