Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant dominated the fielding after scoring a century in the first Test between India and England. On the second day of the Handingley Test, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant not only tried to divert the attention of English players with their sledging behind the stump but also entertained the fans.
The discussion of both with Ravindra Jadeja, who was captured on Stump Mike, has gone viral on social media. In the viral video, it can be seen that when the wicketkeeper Pant puts full dive to prevent the ball from going to the leg side, Pant is a funny manner, “I am also playing brother! In the affair of your fours, don’t give me a four.”
At the same time, Shubman Gill, who was appointed new Test captain, also joined this fun. Ravindra Jadeja threw a ball that caused the batsman to be confused, then Gill shouted from the slip and said, “Right now this is complete confusing Jaddu Bhai! Which one is straight, which one will come there! It is not known now.”

Let me tell you that Pant scored 134 runs in the first innings of this Test with the help of 12 fours and six sixes and appeared completely under control in most of his innings. He emerged as the third century in the innings. Before him, Shubman Gill (147) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) also scored centuries in the Indian innings.
On the second day, India started the day firmly, Gill and Pant brought the team to 400. However, things were shattered soon after both set batsmen were dismissed. After this, India lost seven wickets for just 41 runs and eventually the entire team was dismissed for 471 runs. England reached the stump at 209/3 and gave a strong reply after trailing by 262 runs. Ben Docket gave a solid start by scoring 62 runs off 94 balls. Oli Pope batted with confidence and remained unbeaten by scoring 100 runs off 131 balls. India’s fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah took all three wickets.
