Pant's signature obviously takes the cake, but look at Pujara's too.
You can see this man loves taking his time.
And then, Prithvi सौ… https://t.co/BnBOIL6S4C

Rishabh Pant will next be seen during India and England Test series which will be started on February 5 in Chennai. It is expected that Pant will be taking the gloves ahead of Wriddhiman Saha. However, this time around, Pant’s heroics will surely see him edge over Saha, even though there is a risk whether Pant can show solid wicketkeeping skills on turning Indian wickets.
