Be it batting or keeping wickets, Rishabh Pant never passes up an opportunity to make news. Rishabh Pant did something while keeping wickets in the fourth T20 encounter against the West Indies that was discussed after the game. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma yelled at him during this time as well. However, later on, everyone simply reacted in a light way. 

Nicholas Pooran, the captain of the home side attempted to sneak a run on the final ball of the fifth over as West Indies chased a target of 192 runs set by India. Sanju Samson, who was positioned inside the circle on the offside, swiftly threw Pant’s gloves with a straight throw. Pooran didn’t even attempt to turn around since he knew he wouldn’t be able to escape.
