Wasim Jaffer's Birthday Wish For Rishabh Pant Comes With A Hilarious Meme Starring Rohit Sharma

Star India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant turned 25 on Tuesday and Wasim Jaffer extended his birthday wishes in quintessential fashion, with a meme. The meme, with three frames of India captain Rohit Sharma interviewing Pant, shows the former wishing the latter and asking him what he wants as a birthday gift. "Batting," is the reply in the second frame and the third has Rohit with a whacky expression. The tweet, in the backdrop of Pant not getting a chance to bat in the two T20Is against South Africa despite being in the playing XI, went viral in no time.

India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant didn't have the most memorable outing in the 3-match T20I series against South Africa, where he got to bat only once in three matches. Though India emerged triumphant 2-1, Pant would've liked to do a little more in the series. Opening the batting for the team in the final match of the series at Indore, Pant, who was celebrating his 25th birthday, didn't quite click with the bat. But, the defeat in the game didn't spoil celebrations in the dressing room, both for the series triumph and the stumper's birthday.

Five Major Concerns For Team India Heading Into The T20 World Cup

Rohit Sharma-led Team India might have won the T20I series against Australia and South Africa on home soil, however, there are some big concerns as the team gears up to take part in the T20 World Cup in Australia. If the side wants to win the marquee event, all three departments of the game need to work in unison, which has not happened for Rohit Sharma and co off late. Death bowling has emerged as one of the biggest concerns for the side, and with Jasprit Bumrah being ruled out of the tournament, one does not know how the side can fix the problem that is quickly turning out to be their achilles' heel.

India Predicted XI vs South Africa, 3rd T20I: Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Siraj To Get A Game?

With an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match T20I series, the Indian cricket team has the opportunity to test a few reserves in the third and final match at Indore's Holkar Stadium. The batting unit has come out all guns blazing in the two matches so far, with Suryakumar Yadav leading the charge. The bowling unit, on the other hand, has left plenty to be desired. With the fate of the series sealed, one or two changes can be expected. Shreyas Iyer and Mohammed Siraj remain two players who would be eager to be given an opportunity.

The Indian T20I team combination has seen a distinct trait in the last few matches. The veteran Dinesh Karthik is being preferred more over Rishabh Pant in the wicketkeeper-batter's role. Karthik's ability as a finisher in the No. 6 position seems to be working in his favour. Pant, however, brings his left-handed batting prowess to the table - a quality which is important for Team India, especially after Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out of the T20 World Cup in Australia.
