Rishabh Pant Dishes on His Dynamic Parternership With Shubman Gill During IND vs BAN Chennai Test

The BCCI shared a video on 'X' [Formerly Twitter] as the media personnel caught up with Rishabh Pant to talk about his Test Cricket comeback for Team India. The Stumper spoke upon the dynamic duo vibe he has with compatriot Shubman Gill as they forged a solid partnership to keep India in top gear. He revealed that once you have a good relationship with each other on and off the field, it helps players to bat and develop a partnership. He also mentioned having some fun conversations with Gill as they batted throughout the day.

"I think one thing I have understood over a period of time is that when you have a great relationship outside the field or off the field, it really helps to bat with that guy. I think because when you share a great bond outside, you understand how that other person is thinking about how the game is moving around, and we were just having fun, having fun chats, talking about the game a little bit.

"But at the same time, because at the end of the day, we both knew what we wanted to do. We were just trying to make ourselves relax and just wanted to stitch a great partnership, very regular," Rishabh Pant explained.
