Rishabh Pant marked his return to Test cricket with a magnificent century with the bat against Bangladesh on Day 3, at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
He remained true to his humorous nature as he continued his antics on the field, this time as a batter while keeping people entertained both on and off the field.

The 26-year-old wicket-keeper batter was seen hilariously setting the field for Bangladesh while he was at the non-striker’s end. He instructed the bowler to add a fielder at one of the obviously vacant positions and to make thing funnier, Najmul Shanto listened to him and made the fielding change as he had instructed.
