[Watch] Rishabh Pant bursts into laughter at old Mohammed Siraj’s meme
India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant couldn’t control his laughter when he was shown an old meme of his teammate Mohammed Siraj. The reaction came as Siraj was heard clarifying his account details on Instagram, which was played on a YouTube channel.
The video was uploaded on Sunday, September 8, and it’s currently trending on the website. In the clip, Siraj said:
“Mohammed Siraj official Instagram page hai, bhai ke jo bhi hai wo fake ID hai, Mohammed Siraj main use karta hoon, Mohammed Siraj official page hai woh. [@MohammedSirajoffcial is an Instagram page, the other one is fake].”
Take a look at Pant’s reaction from 17:40 onwards:
Rishabh Pant also opened up on his camaraderie with India captain Rohit Sharma. Regarding his conversations with Rohit, Pant said on the same show (via The Times of India):
"Bhai depend karta hai. Ground ke context mei toh mai samajh jaata hu, off the field kum aata hai samajh mei (I understand what Rohit says on the ground, but off the field I don't).”
The Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper also opened up on a challenging situation with Virat Kohli, where he annoyed the legend in an Indian Premier League (IPL) game. He said (via The Times of India):
"It was one of the most important matches of the season for us and we needed to perform well. I couldn't play that match and was thinking what could I do from the outside.”
Rishabh Pant scores a fifty in the Duleep Trophy ahead of his Test comeback
On the professional front, Rishabh Pant returned with scores of 7 and 61 on his comeback to red-ball cricket for the first time since 2022. The 26-year-old also claimed seven catches, including five for India B in the second innings in the ongoing Duleep Trophy, as they beat India A by 76 runs.
Pant is unlikely to feature in the second Duleep Trophy fixture, which starts in Anantapur on Thursday, September 12. The senior players will likely begin training at NCA for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, which starts a week later on September 19.
