Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane laugh at Rishabh Pant after loud and failed appeal: WATCH

Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is extremely vocal behind the stumps. The southpaw is constantly seen cheering for the bowlers and exchanging words with the opposition batsmen, in an attempt to distract and instigate them. Pant is also immensely exuberant with his appeals. On Day 1 of the India vs Australia 4th Test, the Indian stumper was at it once again as he appealed in a rather animated manner only for his appeal to be turned down by the umpire.

Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma Rishabh Pant laugh at Rishabh Pant's fake appeal

It all happened in the 84th over the innings when T Natarajan bowled a length delivery that pitched and moved away. Australian captain Tim Paine went after the wide ball and almost ended up nicking it. Pant felt that Paine had edged the ball as he straight away started appealing but none of the Indian players from the slip cordon were interested in the appeal

The young glovemen then went towards captain Ajinkya Rahane and vice-captain Rohit Sharma where he was literally seen begging the Indian skipper to go for a review. However, Rahane wasn't interested in it as he denied Pant with a smile. Rohit, who was standing at first slip, was also seen laughing at Pant's over-excited appeal.
