[Watch] Rishabh Pant’s Hilarious ‘Bouncer’ Challenge against Jasprit Bumrah

The Indian cricket team is preparing for the much-anticipated Border Gavaskar Trophy by practicing hard at the WACA facility in Perth. Under the close supervision of head coach Gautam Gambhir and the administrative team, the team has been practicing since Wednesday, concentrating on batting. The players found time for pleasure in spite of the demanding practice sessions. In the nets, Rishabh Pant was observed bowling, while Jasprit Bumrah, who typically bowls, was seen playing batter.

The fun event was a wonderful diversion from the rigorous training sessions. The team is working tirelessly to make sure they are prepared for the challenge as they get ready for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The squad is putting a lot of effort into honing their batting techniques.

Rishabh Pant’s humorous challenge to Bumrah during the practice session:

A contest that left Bowling Coach @mornemorkel65 in conundrum 😃

India’s rigorous training session included a humorous moment when Rishabh Pant was seen bowling to Jasprit Bumrah. Under the careful eyes of bowling coach Morne Morkel, Rishabh Pant, who is known for his hilarious antics, rolled his arm over.

Rishabh Pant promised to get Bumrah out in a playful challenge. Even bowling bouncers at the quick bowler was something he tried. Normally the one bringing the bouncers, Bumrah ended up on the receiving end, adding some hilarity to the situation.

This incident gave a welcome respite from the team’s hectic preparations for the impending Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Pant’s antics injected some levity to the practice, temporarily distracting the crew from fine-tuning their talents.

Cricket lovers are eagerly waiting for what looks like an interesting confrontation between two cricket giants, where the first official Test is to begin on November 22 at the Western Australian ground of Perth Stadium. India will have to carry practice and prepare in the subsequent days in the event that they are to pull out the positive outcome within the first match regardless of these uncertainties.
