India Test vice-captain Rishabh Pant has regained his batting form just in time as the Shubman Gill-led side will take on England in the five-Test series that begins on June 20. Pant, who struggled in the entire IPL 2025, ended the tournament with a brilliant century for LSG.
He has been hitting well since then, and he demonstrated it flawlessly at the Kent County Ground during a recent training session.
Pant displayed his shot selection during the session by hitting huge sixes that slammed into the front yards, balconies, and rooftops of neighboring government buildings in addition to clearing the boundary ropes.
“This is the kind of tale you usually hear in Indian mohallas, kids breaking windows with tennis balls sixes. The only difference is, this time it’s not kids. It’s Rishabh Pant," RevSportz journalist stated in the video.
A ball was observed dangling from a balcony shade in one instance. Indian support workers are unable to enter the building carelessly to grab the balls due to local protocols.
A turbaned official reportedly requested access before attempting to remove the ball from the quarters, indicating that special permission was needed.

Shubman Gill has been named captain of the Indian Test team, while Pant has been named the new vice-captain. With Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and R Ashwin having already declared their retirements from Test cricket, a new generation will take over in the forthcoming series.
