In the last match, India got off to a very patchy start after losing their top order Rohit Sharma(36), KL Rahul(6) and Virat Kohli(4) early on in the innings.

It was thanks to some brilliant hitting from Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer that the "Men In Blue" managed to grab hold of the match.

After a long time, Pant played a high-flying innings of 71 runs off 69 balls. 

Pant also secured a maiden ODI half-century to his name in "Men In Blue" colours.

Ever since Pant was brought in as Dhoni's replacement into the Indian squad, he has faced a lot of criticism from the fans.

The southpaw's form with the bat, wicket-keeping skills and his suggestion to skipper over DRS calls have all been below average and has caused a lot of people to raise fingers towards his selection in the national side.

Isha Negi, Pant's girlfriend, took to social media after that game and posted a screenshot of India’s final score on her Instagram to show her love for the cricketer and called him “The King”.

Team India are currently taking on West Indies in the second ODI match of the series  at the Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam after losing the first one by 8 wickets.
