Rishabh Pant touted to fill in the shoes of former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni had a rather rough day on the field as India lost to Bangladesh in the first T20 on November 3. Rohit Sharma, however, had a hilarious reaction to Pant's failed DRS call. The 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman convinced skipper Rohit Sharma to opt for DRS against Soumya Sarkar on the last ball of the 10th over. Yuzvendra Chahal was seen unsure, although Pant seemed confident. The UltraEdge then showed a flat line as the ball went past the bat. Watch Sharma's hysterical reaction after the decision.
This was Pant's second DRS call that had gone wrong as the young wicket-keeper had earlier failed to spot DRS chances against Mushfiqur Rahim when he was trapped LBW. Netizens flooded Twitter with hilarious memes on Rishabh Pant's bad day and compared him with veteran wicket-keeper MS Dhoni.
