"Should I Say What Rohit Sharma Said?": Ex England Star Gets Rishabh Pant Reminder In Commentary Box
The Indian cricket team continued their dominance on Day 2 of the 5th Test against England in Dharamsala, with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill slamming a century each.
The duo, in fact, brought up their tons in a non-traditional way, as far as Test cricket is concerned. The rate with which Rohit and Gill scored runs in the middle prompted former England star Owais Shah to ask ex-India cricketer Saba Karim in the commentary box, what was the reason behind Team India's scoring rate.
Saba, in no mood to go easy on Shah, reminded the Englishman of the comment that was made by India captain Rohit Sharma in the pre-match press conference.
When Rohit was asked about Ben Duckett's comment, suggesting England should get credit for Yashasvi Jaiswal's high strike rate, the India skipper had sent a 'Rishabh Pant reminder'. "There was a guy called Rishabh Pant in our team, probably Ben Duckett hasn't seen him play," Rohit had said in the press conference. "Wahi jawab dun jo Rohit Sharma ne kahan tha ke aaplogon ne Rishabh Pant ko batting karte hue dekha nahi hai (should I respond the same way Rohit did, saying you guys have not seen Rishabh Pant bat)?", Saba told Shah in the commentary box on Day 2.
