Rishabh Pant, India keeper-batter, had attended a conversation on Tanmay Bhatt’s YouTube channel which featured other stand-up comics as well. And Pant just couldn’t keep himself from laughing when an old meme of Mohammed Siraj was shown on the shared screen.

The meme on display was of his teammate Mohammed Siraj, who in his early days posted a video authenticating his official social media ID. Along with the video of Siraj talking, there was a collage of him and Sri Lanka’s latest debutant Mohammad Shiraj added as well.

For whatever reason, this went viral on social media, and Pant couldn't stop laughing at the age-old meme.

Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant made his return to red-ball cricket after 20 months with the Duleep Trophy and performed admirably well with the bat and behind the stumps. He took a couple of brilliantly diving catches and scored a blistering fifty in the second innings for India B, as they defeated India A.

Rishabh Pant was also named in the 16-member India squad for the upcoming first Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh. This match will be played in Chennai from September 19 onwards.

This will be Rishabh Pant’s first Test match since December 2022, when the keeper met with a serious car accident that kept him out of action for over 18 months
