Fans Praise ‘Spiderman’ Rishabh Pant For His Catches & Hilarious Comments Behind Stumps

Have you been following the second test match between India and England happening at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai? If you have, you must have seen 23-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant dismiss Ollie Pope off Mohammed Siraj’s delivery in the 39th over taking a brilliant diving catch. He also took a one-handed catch to dismiss Jack Leach in the 59th over off Ishant Sharma’s delivery, reports Hindustan Times.

Cricket fans have been comparing him to Spiderman and Superman ever since.

And those who remember the cricketer singing “tune churaya mere dil ka chain” in Australia, there were some more gold stump mic moments yesterday. According to The Indian Express, he entertained everyone by saying:

  • “Ollie Pope ko Lollipop do”
  • “Thoda sa aage, thoda sa aage. Milkha Singh bhaage, pyaara Axar jaage.”
  • “Ball ghoomega toh yeh jhoomega.”
  • “Fasega, fasega. Maza aane lagega.”

Some Twitter users thought it was better than the official commentary and one person suggested that music producer Yashraj Mukhate add beats to his dialogues.

What was your favourite thing to hear during the match?
