Rishabh Pant Trolls Rohit Sharma Hilariously When Fans Ask Him About Ex-India Captain's Whereabouts, Says 'Woh Garden Mein...' | WATCH VIDEO

India vs England: India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who had an IPL to forget, seemed upbeat ahead of the upcoming tour of England. While Pant was leaving for the United Kingdom with his other mates, he was asked by fans about former India captain Rohit Sharma's whereabouts at the airport. Pant came up with a cheeky response as he used the ‘garden’ reference. The Indian wicketkeeper hilariously claimed that Rohit was loitering around in the garden.

“Wo garden me ghoom re hai (He’s walking in the garden),” said Pant in the reply. But that did not stop the fan as he further goes on to ask Pant, if he would miss the garden. Pant replied that yes he will indeed miss the garden.

Meanwhile, Pant is certainly going to be a key member of the side in the five-match Test series against England. What will help Pant is that he has prior experience of playing in the UK. Pant would in all probability don the gloves and bat at No. 5. He would be expected to play those counter-attacking knocks. 

Tricky English Conditions

For the unversed, the India-A side is in England and are playing warm-up games against England Lions. These games would give the players much-needed practice.

India has not won a Test series in English soil since 2007 and hence these warm-up games should help players get accustomed to the swing, pace and bounce of the strips in England. What makes this series difficult for India is that they are a team in transition after the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Shubman Gill has been appointed as the captain and it would be interesting to see how he goes about the business. The first Test match starts from June 20 at the Headingley in Leeds.
