Rishabh Pant: During a fun segment, the cricketers were asked to pick a player as per the description provided by the host. Pant was the most proactive of all participants. Asked to name a cricketer to loves to create drama and stir the pot, the keeper-batter replied:
Rishabh Pant: “There are many. Mohalla bhara pada hai (The whole block is buzzing).”
Pant, however, did end up naming a player – T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav.
The keeper-batter described left arm wrist spinner Kuldeep as someone who gets up worked up over almost everything. He cheekily commented:
“He’ll ask why did you say that about me.”
Speaking about his long-time spin bowling partner, Chahal chipped in and added:
“He can get upset at any point. Woh yeh sunke bhi naraz ho jayega. Samjhana padega. (He’ll get upset listening to this as well. We’ll have to pacify him).”
Further, asked to name one player who complains a lot, Pant went for Shami. Finally, asked to pick one cricketer who never seems to be happy no matter what, the Indian stumper replied with the name of lead pacer Bumrah. He explained:
“Woh kisi bhi baat se khush nahi hota. (He is never happy with anything.) If he picks up five wickets, he gets a little happy.”
