VIDEO | Rishabh Pant does running commentary behind the stumps as Fox commentators remain silent for entire over

SportsCafe Desk

Since the last two days of Adelaide Test, Rishabh Pant has been a spectacle behind the stumps thanks to the continuous sledging that he has been doing. Today, Fox paid a tribute to him as they stopped their commentary for an over so as to allow people listen to Pant’s one-liners behind the stumps.

The Australian way of mental disintegration was a hugely successful formula and gave them immense success in the late 90s and early 2000s. The players used to haunt in a pack and not give the other teams any chance to recover from the mental trauma. However, Newlands scandal changed the way Australian cricket was operating and the team has become a more sedate one. Or in fact, they have traded their aggression with India.Ā 

Pat Cummins was on strike when Ashwin was bowling the 76th over of the run-chase, and Pant continuously had a word or two to say about the game. With his Delhi Daredevils teammate struggling there, he immediately started, ā€œC’mon Patty, It is not easy to surviveā€.Ā 

While Cummins didn’t give a heed to what he was saying, Pant didn’t stop and kept on saying, ā€œIt is not easy to play hereĀ ladsā€ and ā€œC’ mon Ash, use that roughā€. He even used an Australian accent to irritate Cummins. Commentators were clearly enjoying his antics as the production unit decided to stop commentary for the entire over and used a ticker asking the viewers to rather listen to the stump mic.Ā
