Rohit Sharma’s Reaction When Rishabh Pant Pokes Fun at India Opener While COVID-19 Test is Unmissable | WATCH VIDEO
Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant share an extremely cordial relation and are fond of each other. The Indian cricketers gave fans another display of their bromance recently. A video surfaced on the social space a day after India beat England in the first ODI at Pune.
In the video Pant shared on his Instagram story, Rohit is getting a COVID-19 test done. After the swab has been taken, Pant – who is behind the lens – cheekily asks Rohit how he feels. He says, “arey, kaise ho bhaiya? (how are you brother?)”.

In a friendly gesture, Rohit shows him the middle finger, without any offense, in response to Pant’s query. Rohit – who scored 28 off 42 balls in the 1st ODI – has in the past praised Pant when critics were attacking the young wicketkeeper-batsman. Pant has been a star for India since the tour of Australia. He has won games for the country from difficult situations and stamped his authority in world cricket.
Meanwhile, Rohit – who picked up an elbow injury is set to miss the remainder of the ODI series. Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan got India off to a steady start in the ODI opener. They put on a 64-run stand before Rohit perished. In all probability, Shubman Gill would open with in-form Shikhar Dhawan – who missed a century by two runs in the first ODI.
Earlier, debutants Krunal Pandya and Prasidh Krishna owned the big stage with record-breaking performances and played a crucial role in leading India to a convincing 66-run victory over world champions England.
“It didn’t start off well, and they came hard at us because we bowled poorly, but we had belief,” said the Karnataka bowler, who had drawn high praise from skipper Kohli long before making the squad.
