Delhi Capitals (DC) wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant has found himself in hot water after a video went viral on social media of him predicting a four even before the ball was bowled.

The incident pertains to the fixture between DC and Kolkata Knight Riders in the National Capital. Just before the fifth ball of the fourth over in the first innings, which was being bowled by Sandeep Lamichhane, Pant was heard on the stump mic making a bizarre prediction.

"Ye to vaise bhi chauka hai (This is anyways a boundary)," Pant could be heard saying in the video which has since went viral on Twitter.

Following this, a number of users on Twitter were confused, and couldn't stop imagining as to how the youngster knew the delivery would go for a boundary. Some of them went a step further, and felt that there is something fishy in this.
