Rishabh Pant, 20, might be defined as a fearless cricketer by his peers and coaches, but the Roorkee lad has admitted that he was a tad nervous ahead of his Test debut in the third Test.

Despite the nerves, Pant had a sound debut by taking seven catches in the match and scoring a well composed 24 in his first outing. He also became the first Indian player to get off the mark with a six in his debut Test "I was nervous. Everyone is nervous when they play their first match. I saw the ball and reacted to it. I was not thinking of hitting it for a six. I was just playing my normal cricket," he told reporters.
