Rishabh Pant gave a hilarious response to KL Rahul's comments on Day 4 of the Test series opener at Headingley in Leeds, and it instantly went viral on social media.
Rahul and Pant have been the star performers for the team in the ongoing match against the Ben Stokes-led side.
In the first innings, KL Rahul batted brilliantly and built a solid opening stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal, but he was unable to convert his start into a big score and fell for 42 off 78 balls.
In the second innings as well, the duo showcased a batting masterclass, and they were constantly chatting with each other in the middle. One of their conversations during the 33rd over, when Brydon Carse was bowling, was caught on the stump mic, and it quickly went viral on social media.
Here is how the conversation unfolded between the Indian batters:
Rishabh Pant: Haanji aisa nhi hai na ki... ghuma du, ball achhe se dekhta hun (Yes, it's not like that, I'll just swing like this, I watch the ball well.)

There's a lot of responsibility on KL Rahul, and he's carrying it superbly - Sanjay Manjrekar
Recently, Sanjay Manjrekar lavished high praise on Rahul for playing a near-perfect knock in India's second innings against the Three Lions. He also lauded debutant Sai Sudharsan for a significantly better performance in the second innings after a duck in his first outing in Test cricket.
"There were a couple of cover drives in particular that were absolute 10 out of 10 - even the harshest of critics would struggle to find a flaw. It was perfection in motion. There's a lot of responsibility on KL Rahul, and he's carrying it superbly. Touch wood, he's looking in excellent rhythm."
"As for Sai Sudharsan, it was good to see him get some runs under his belt. He'll be disappointed not to kick-on because, as a batter, once you cross 30, you feel like you've assessed the attack and done the hard work. But that's where he's unique - very old-school in his approach. He plays the ball late, very still at the crease, no exaggerated trigger movement - just classic technique. That short-arm jab, the cover drive, even the straight drive… textbook stuff," he added.
