After another outing for India that divided opinion, Rishabh Pant's batting and role behind the stumps will be under the scanner once again. Will the youngster play a defining knock tonight?
Adam Gilchrist had some advice for him: scroll.in/field/942771/d…

Milestone alert!
Rohit Sharma becomes the 2nd Indian cricketer (and first man) to play 100 T20 internationals for India! Harmanpreet Kaur became the first to do so recently against South Africa.

An otherwise good over from Deepak Chahar is spoiled by the last ball...on the pads for Liton Das, flicked away for the first boundary of the night.
Khaleel to bowl the 2nd over...

Washington Sundar replaces Khaleel Ahmed, unsurprisingly. It's a decent first over from the TN all-rounder, with Liton Das hitting a boundary. Good start for the visitors, this.

FOUR! Change of ends for Khaleel Ahmed, but no change of fortune! Naim plays a superb shot over midwicket for four. That shot was gorgeous to watch, but Khaleel continues to get punished when he bowls short.

OH DEAR! Chahal was celebrating their first wicket after what seemed like a straightforward stumping. But third umpire says Rishabh Pant had his gloves in front of the stumps. No ball given and Liton Das hits the free hit for four.
Pant's woes continue.

#INDvBAN 2nd T20I
And now Rohit Sharma drops a catch to give Liton Das another reprieve. It was a case of three fielders converging onto the high ball but Rohit got there first, put it down.
India have not turned up in this match, to be honest.

WICKET! Pant redeems himself in no time. There is a big appeal for LBW against Liton Das who suddenly decides to sneak a run...Pant is alert and hits the stumps on the turn. Brain fade from Das, great awareness from Pant.
(LBW was out, in case India reviewed)

End of 10 overs: BAN 78/1
That's a brilliant platform for the visitors after losing the toss. India have not looked at their best on the field. Shivam Dube comes on to bowl the 10th and concedes 9 runs.

WICKET! More drama in Rajkot. Another stumping is being reviewed by 3rd umpire...the big screen flashed 'not out' first but changes to 'out' after that. Pant must have had his heart in his mouth there for a moment. Sarkar stumped, Chahal has 2 in one over.

A light-hearted moment on the field. Rohit Sharma fires in a throw from the deep on the half volley to Pant, who couldn't gather it and results in an overthrow. Next ball, the Indian captain lobs it in from the deep and has a smile on his face.
