Team India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant scored a century in both innings of the first Test match being played against England. In the first innings, Pant scored a brilliant 134 runs, while in the second innings he got 118 runs with his bat. But this time, after scoring a century, Pant celebrated in a different way. People hoped that they would celebrate it by hitting Gulati. But Pant celebrated it in a different way by placing his hand on one ear.
Gavaskar’s demand did not accept …
When Pant scored a century, former veteran Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar was standing in the balcony of the Stadium. He appealed to Pant to celebrate by hitting Gulati. But Pant said that he will do this next time. Please tell that on the tour of Australia, Gavaskar called Pant as Stupid. But when Pant scored a century in the first innings, he called Super. It came under a lot of discussion.

Pant, who scored a century in both the Pario, has become the seventh batsman of India.
