The vice-captain of India Rishabh Pant still proved why he is one of the most entertaining characters in world cricket, both with his daring shots and with the conversations he has with himself in the middle. Day 4 of the first test against England in Headingley, Pant added another jewel to his increasing collection of emblematic blows abroad. After marking a masterful 134 in the first rounds, he sewn a 195 -point partnership at the momentum with KL Rahul in the second round and brought his second century of the match, becoming the first Indian to score tons of twins in a test in England.

Looking at another innovative blow, the pants whispered, “Ball right hai, Rishabh Aise Yeh Jaroori Nahi Hai Theke? Marna Hai in Seedha Lag Jayega na Iss Ball Pe Zabardasti with the wind try Kare Jaa Raha Hai.”This auto-attic came when he was trying to go back to recover a delivery which did not justify such a blow. A few moments later, Pant calmed down and returned to a more traditional approach, finally leading India to a massive advance.
