He took off at the right time and meant business from the ball in one of the matches. South African pacers were at the helm, steering matches their way, but the opener\u2019s fifty and disciplined bowling effort by India won Rishabh Pant his first match as an Indian skipper. Ruturaj Gaikwad has entered a record with this achievement, being counted as the fifth player to do so.
