Rishabh Pant Kicks Ball Away During India-Sri Lanka Practice Match

Rishabh Pant is a famous cricketer who plays for India.

In a practice game against Sri Lanka, he started batting very carefully.

He did not try to score for his first 21 balls, which surprised people because Pant usually loves to hit big shots.

Even Gautam Gambhir, watching from the team room, reacted to his unusual style.

Then Pant went back to his normal, aggressive way of playing.

He smashed three big sixes, including one off Keshara Nuwanta and another off Dilum Sadeera.

The bowler Sadeera did not want to be hit for another six, so he bowled the ball very wide, far outside the leg stump.

Pant thought this was funny and kicked those wide balls away with his foot, like a football player.

The video of him doing this became very popular on social media.

Pant had been out for a low score in the first part of the match, so fans were delighted to see him enjoying himself again.
