The day before a significant match should be a time of relaxation and joy to ease any pressure. Indian players Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, and KL Rahul embraced this sentiment when the wicketkeeper was spotted bowling spin, eliciting laughter and camaraderie among them at the nets in Kanpur.
India and Bangladesh are set to clash at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur for the final Test match. Following a decisive victory in Chennai, the Men in Blue appeared relaxed as they geared up to face the side led by Najmul Hossain Shanto. During their practice session, a humorous moment unfolded that sparked laughter, highlighting the strong camaraderie within the Indian dressing room. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video of the moment on their official social media
While Pant rolled his arms during the recent Delhi Premier League (DPL), Rahul playfully reminded him of his performance. Pant was one of the few top Indian cricketers to participate in the inaugural DPL season, and Rahul recalled how the wicketkeeper-batter bowled during the tournament, mimicking it in their Tuesday practice session. Gill also chimed into the humorous banter and joked that Pant had provided him with excellent practice.
Pant and Gill powered India to a commanding 280-run victory over Bangladesh in the first Test at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The pair formed a formidable partnership, adding 167 runs in the second innings, both scoring centuries. Gill secured his fifth Test century, remaining unbeaten at 119, while Pant made a spectacular return to Test cricket with an impressive 109-run innings.
Hilarious!
