After Ashwin takes the catch, Pant turns to the camera and says – Hey Shubhman, this is how you too should field and take catches, at short leg. Then, they share a giggle between themselves. Its a known fact that Gill fields for India, in test matches at short leg position. The duo of Pant and Ashwin were, playfully mocking their team mate Gill.
The trio of Rishabh Pant, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane, play for Delhi Capitals. On the other hand, Shubhman Gill plays for Kolkata Knight Riders. However, the camaraderie which the players share while playing for India, was there to see. Just like Pant comments funny things while, keeping wickets for India in international games, he did the same here.
