Ind vs Eng: Rishabh Pant Spotted Practicing With England's Slip Cordon, Pic Goes Viral

Ahead of the start of India vs England 2nd Test, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant's photo has gone viral on social media.

The Indian cricket team is currently playing the second match of the ongoing five-match Test series against hosts England. After a drawn first Test due to rain, both India and England are currently battling it out for a 1-0 lead at the iconic Lord's stadium. The hosts have been put to bat first in overcast conditions after England won the toss. 

Ahead of the start of India vs England 2nd Test, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant's photo has gone viral on social media. Before the start of the match, players of both the teams were engaged in an intense practice session. 

Meanwhile, to improve his wicketkeeping skills, Pant started practicing with the opposition team's slip cordon, the photo of which has gone viral. In the photo, Pant is seen practicing catching in England's slip cordon.

Pant's wicketkeeping skills were highly appreciated after his performance in the first Test at Trent Bridge. The way Pant kept wickets in tough swinging English conditions, was praised by some of the big names in the cricketing world. Former wicketkeeper Saba Karim had described Pant's wicketkeeping in the first Test as better than the hosts' wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.

Former Indian captain and current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has also reached Lord's to watch Ind vs Eng 2nd Test. Meanwhile, the Indian team management once again ignored veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for playing XI in the second Test. Virat Kohli has lost six out of seven Tests this year. On the other hand, Stuart Broad is also not playing for England as he's injured.
