Rishabh Pant is quite an interesting personality, be it on or off the field. his off-field behaviour has also given fans some memorable moments While his on-field antics entertain the crowd during matches. The wicketkeeper-batter is currently in Sri Lanka, playing in India’s two-match Test series. The matches have been hugely impacted by rain as it has stopped play multiple times. One video from a rainy moment in Sri Lanka, featuring Pant and his timely response to a fan, is going viral on social media.

Coming into the Test, the 28-year-old had scored 2,471 runs in Tests away from home and at neutral venues. He needed to score 26 runs to get past the 2011 World Cup-winning captain, and he did so in style when he hit off-spinner Keshara Nuwantha for back-to-back fours in the 97th over of the first innings during the opening session on Day 2. Pant has now scored 2,534 runs as a wicketkeeper away from home in Test cricket, with Dhoni now pushed back to second.

Idhar ka paani alag hai (Rishabh bro, you will catch a fever, the water here is different). After hearing their reply, Pant covered his face and started laughing.
