The social media spat of the year –
Urvashi Rautela had recently given an interview where she said one guy named MR RP had waited for her over 10 hours in the hotel lobby. The Indian wicket keeper asked the heroine to stop peddling lies and called her a sister in jest. The heroine was quick to respond and asked Pant to go play bat-ball in a social media post which was widely circulated. The two have exchanged barbs over the last few occasions. The presence of Rautela, caught the attention of the people. Pant was soon in spotlight sitting at the dugout with the Indian team wearing the training bib.
Pant to play next game?
India on Wednesday take on Hong Kong at the Dubai International stadium and it is expected that Pant will make a comeback to the side. India might make a few more changes to the side as they look to seal their place in the super 4’s.
