With the COVID-19 rules, fans were not allowed in the stadium, but Team India were not affected as they had their very own Rishabh Pant to keep them charged and entertained.

The man has not kept calm since standing behind the stumps as he kept chattering before every ball is bowled. So after hearing his talks, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has given him the tag of the 'ultimate street cricketer' to Pant.

Pant, who is playing the pink-ball Test, was seen confusing Ben Foakes and Jack Leach with his remarks. After the day ended, Virender Sehwag posted a clip about the same. 

"The ultimate street cricketer - #rishabhpant , make so much noise that the batsman gets confused. Who else after watching this think they could have been wicket-keeper just by making such sounds?" - Virender Sehwag captioned the video.

While Team India could have earned another wicket there because of the miscommunication between the two Englishmen, it did not make much difference as Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin's brilliance restricted the England cricket team to 112-runs.

As for the wicketkeeper-batsman, Pant had played a pink-ball practice match against Australia A during India's Australia 2020-21 tour. 

He had smashed nine fours and six sixes in his 73-ball 103* at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). In the current 3rd Test between India and England at the Narendra Modi Stadium, he has not yet come out to bat and it will be interesting to see if he could play the same way here.
