[Watch] Rishabh Pant hilariously joins the pep talk of opposition team, India A

Ahead of the start of the Day 4 in the game between India A and india B in the Duleep Trophy, a hilarious incident happened. Shubman Gill, the captain of India A, was giving a pep talk to his team who were all ready in their white jersey.

However, the cameras displayed that there was a player in the blue training jersey inside the hurdle. Later, it was found out that, Rishabh Pant, the player of the opposition team India B had joined the hurdle. He was overhearing the strategy and instructions that were given by the captain Shubman Gill.

“India A in the huddle this morning, who is the gentleman in a blue t-shirt. It’s Rishabh Pant, India B. He knows the plans,” the commentator on-air said as Pant joined India A’s team hurdle.

Rishabh Pant is set to make his comeback in red ball cricket in the home Test series against Bangladesh

Pant is always a funny character on the field. He entertains the players on the field as well as the viewers with his hilarious comments from behind the wickets. Pant did not fail to entertain yet again, as he overheard India A’s team talks by joining their team hurdle.

Pant made his comeback to cricket in IPL 2024 after a one and half year hiatus after his near fatal car crash in December 2022. He was also part of the World Cup winning squad of Team India in the T20 World Cup 2024. Although, he played all the matches, he did not look to be in good touch with the bat. The flow was missing.

Pant has been a sensational match winner in red ball cricket with his exploits in pressure moments. He has smashed a century in all SENA countries. India did miss him in this format in the last year or so. He will be looking to make his comeback in the Test series against Bangladesh starting from September 19. Pant was back in form as he smashed 61 runs off 47 balls in the second innings of India B.
