However, in a lighthearted moment during the team’s training session in Kanpur, wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant was seen bowling spin to star batter Shubman Gill in a video shared by the Indian Cricket Board, just one day before the second Test match slated to commence on September 27 at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.

KL Rahul, in a humorous exchange, asked Pant if he had bowled in the recently concluded DPL 2024, Rishabh, tune Delhi Premier League mein bhi bowling kari thi na? (You recently bowled in the DPL, right?), to which the 26-year-old cricketer said  ‘Oh yes, they needed one runs. I said I might as well bowl).

As Rohit Sharma and his men look to seal the series with another win, the focus will now be on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who did not perform well in the opening Test match in Chennai. However, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant displayed some great skills as they both hammered a century in the second innings of the first Test match. It was the comeback Test match for Pant after his horrific car accident that has kept him out for over a year.
