Team India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant hilariously praised all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja during the fifth day of the first Test between England and India. The game is being played at Headingley, Leeds.
While Ravindra Jadeja was getting ready to bowl during an over, Rishabh Pant, who was getting ready to take his position behind the stumps while waiting, made a funny remark to praise Jadeja the 'all-rounder'. By his skillset, Jadeja is a left-arm spinner and a left-handed batter.
"Yeh keh rahe mera hi game, mera hi ball, mera hi umpire, meri hi field, aur fielding bhi mein hi karunga. Jaddub bhai kya baat hai (He is telling it is my game, my ball, my umpire, my field, and I will only do fielding as well. Jaddu wow what a thing)," Pant said.
