India is playing a 4-day warm-up game against the Leicestershire Cricket Club in the Middlesex training ground. Due to the previous covid outbreak, BCCI warned the Indian players to follow the covid protocols and avoid crowded places as a precaution. But Indian wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant has been seen signing the bats in the crowd gathering outside the field.
The Indian youngster had good batting practice in the warm-up game as he smashed 76 runs in his well-known attacking manner before getting out on Jadeja’s delivery.
As BCCI has warned the players to avoid crowded places the Ground organizers also tried their best by announcing to Indian players to not sign jerseys or bats of the crowd. But as usual, Pant was in his chilled mood after hitting the half-century and signed the kids’ bat in the crowd making them smile.
Though this gesture won the hearts of the crowd presented there but the young sensation might face problems for disobeying BCCI’s warning. Previously Indian spinner Ravi Ashwin and batsman Virat Kohli got tested positive for covid tests though they are recovered now.
BCCI wants Pant to be more responsible for this kind of thing, they might penalize Pant for disobeying the instruction of the Cricket Board Council of India. As for now, he might be left only after penalizing. But the whole country wants Pant in this disastrous mood in the test match that is going to take place against England from 1st July. If he is in his touch, he can take the game away from the opponent in no time.
