![‘Ball Achhe Se Dekhta Hu’: Rishabh Pant Goes Back on His Word Despite KL Rahul’s Warning; Miserably Fails His Template Scoop Shot [WATCH]](https://cricxtasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/KL-Rahul-Rishabh-Pant-ENG-vs-IND-1st-Test.png)
India wicketkeeper-batter and vice-captain Rishabh Pant couldn’t help but be himself despite KL Rahul’s warning on Day 4 of the ongoing ENG vs IND 1st Test at Headingley.
With the ball already soft and old, Pant wanted to take on the attack but overcast conditions and the pitch opening up on the penultimate day made batting a tad difficult.
KL Rahul on the other end could also be seen advising on similar lines and Pant seemed to acknowledge the message as he was heard saying on the stump mic “Ball achhe see dekhta hu’.
However, on the very next ball, Pant tried to hit his template scoop shot but mistimed it miserable and fell down to the ground.
Watch the video of the incident below.
