It seems that Rishabh Pant might be in the perfect frame of mind ahead of the series-deciding fourth and final Test match at the Gabba, Brisbane that gets underway on Friday. 

The youngster had played a vital knock of 97 coming out to bat at number four after Team India had lost the wicket of skipper Ajinkya Rahane very early on Day 5 of the SCG Test. Pant's stellar knock was one of the factors which ensured that the Test match ended in a stalemate. 

Now, the Delhi cricketer is looking to get into the groove by sweating it out in the gym with his team-mates. 

'It's all about brotherhood': Rishabh Pant

Taking to the micro-blogging site, Pant had posted an image of him along with his team-mates whom he has referred to as his 'brothers'. Pant can be seen posing along with India's limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma, and, opener Prithvi Shaw and a few members of the support staff in the gym after supposedly having completed the gym session. The 23-year-old went on to caption the image as 'It’s about brotherhood, Putting in the work - all day, every day'
