30.09.2024 - 15:13 sports.ndtv.com

India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant is often an animated figure behind the stumps, and he was at his enthusiastic best against Bangladesh in the second Test at Kanpur.

In fact, Pant came up with another hilarious piece of advice for India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, as India tried to dismiss well-set Bangladesh batter Mominul Haque.

With Mominul coming low and looking to sweep Ashwin on every ball, Pant suggested that Ashwin can trap Mominul leg-before-wicket (LBW) even by hitting his helmet. "Helmet se ek LBW le sakta hai bhai (You can get him out LBW with his helmet)," said Pant to Ashwin from behind the stumps.

With Mominul standing at a height of barely 5'3", him coming down to sweep would cause even his head to come near the line of the stumps.
