ENG vs IND 2025: 3 moments where India lost 3rd Test

3. Rishabh Pant’s run-out in the first innings

Pant and Rahul had added 141 runs after India lost three wickets rather early. It looked like the duo would go to Lunch on the third day of the match unbeaten, but a slight error in judgment from Pant and eagerness to get to his hundred from Rahul hurt India badly. The southpaw was caught short of the crease by Ben Stokes’ direct hit while taking a quick single.

This meant the momentum India built thanks to Pant (74) and Rahul (100) was lost. This had a cascading effect, as Rahul got out soon after reaching his hundred. India could have fallen short of England’s 387 if not for 72 by Ravindra Jadeja and the help from Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar.
