It was a fine start of Day 4 for Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan after the dismissal of Virat Kohli on the last ball of Day 3 in the first Test between India and New Zealand. The Indian duo dominated the Kiwi bowlers in the wicket-less morning session. Sarfaraz went to his first Test century, while Pant batted his way to a half-century. Then there was the brilliance of Sarfaraz, who reached 150 runs with an impressive array of 18 fours and 3 sixes before getting dismissed by Tim Southee. But the other man wasn't done yet - Pant hit a massive six off Southee on the third ball of the 87th over, one that launched it 107 meters into the air, leaving Glenn Phillips at the boundary with stunned silence.

Rahul and the fans were just silent at this point in time. India had a lead of 77 runs at this point in time. They wanted to bat out the remaining overs to take the lead much further. That was an important day for Sarfaraz as he had shown a lot of talent and determination to score his first Test hundred, after getting dismissed for a duck in the first innings. With Pant's aggressive support, the pair had given India a strong position. In subsequent overs, the Indians will hope to capitalize their lead and set a strong target that could make it difficult for New Zealand to chase.
