IND vs ENG: Hilarious video of Rishabh Pant running to catch the ball but in wrong direction – WATCH

IND vs ENG 1st Test: Star Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant never fails to entertain anyone be it the crowd, umpires, or even his own teammates. The constant chirping behind the wicket is just one aspect of his entertaining personality and the theatrics behind the stumps is another.

Only Rishabh Pant can get you these moments

Something interesting was witnessed on Day 2 at Chepauk against which even left the commentators in splits. The incident took place in the 151^st over when Ollie Pope top-edged a full toss delivery of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. For a few seconds, the ever-excited Pant gave the impression that it’s an easy catch for him.

In reality, the ball had flown behind Rishabh Pant but it took him a few seconds to realize it. Pant was seen running in front of the stumps in order to catch the ball but later realized that the ball was nowhere near him.
