Watch: Rishabh Pant's Argument With Litton Das Heats Things Up During Chennai Test
Rishabh Pant was involved in a heated exchange with Bangladesh's Litton Das on Day 1 of the 1st Test in Chennai.
Team India star Rishabh Pant was involved in a heated exchange with Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das on Day 1 of the 1st Test in Chennai. The incident happened in the 15th over of India's first innings with Taskin Ahmed bowling to Yashasvi Jaiswal. Taskin bowled a good length a delivery to Jaiswal who defended it towards gully. Pant wanted to steal a run but was sent back by Jaiswal. As the fielder sent the ball towards the non-striker's end, it deflected off Pant's pads and went towards mid-on.
As a result, Pant and Jaiswal managed to change ends and added another run to India's score. However, Litton was not happy that the batters took a run after the ball deflected off Pant's pads.
He confronted Pant who wasn't having any of it. After exchanging a few words, Litton went back to take his position behind the stumps.Â
