Indian captain Virat Kohli has always admired others whenever they do something amazing in the field, be it hitting an amazing six, or a wonderful drive or brilliance in the field. This time his admiration came for Rishabh Pant, who decided to get quick runs on the morning of day 2.
India lost four quick wickets on day 2 to be bowled out for 329 runs, but Pant made sure he remained unbeaten on 58 and added as many runs as possible. It was due to his knock, that India went past the 300-run mark, and during his knock, he smacked England captain Joe Root for a huge six.

Root came on to bowl the 91st over of the innings with Kuldeep Yadav and Rishabh Pant batting. Pant, off the third ball of the over, despite the ball turning out of the rough, strode out of the crease to smack him for a huge six. The ball landed in the stands, into the crowds.
The six left the Indian dressing room in awe and captain Virat Kohli was seen in amazement as the ball sailed into the Chepauk crowd.
