Rishabh Pant asks Kuldeep Yadav to swear on his mother he won’t take a single

Team India players Rishabh Pant and Kuldeep Yadav have been having fun on the field since the match between India A and India B started in the Duleep Trophy tournament. Earlier, in the first innings, Rishabh was seen teasing Kuldeep Yadav by messing with his helmet as he came out to bat.

Pant then twisted his arm and had some funny chat with the cricketer, before letting him take the strike and face the first ball.

This time around, Pant had ordered the fielders to come up, saying Kuldeep would take a single. Kuldeep also responded with a hilarious remark.

The event occurred in the 41st over of the innings, with India’s A score at 147-7 in response to chasing a challenging 275. With Kuldeep reportedly aiming for a single, Pant, stationed behind the stumps, summoned everyone to the crease.

However, the left-arm wrist-spinner refused to take a single, and Pant sarcastically challenged him to swear on his mother.

Here is how the conversation went:

Rishabh : “Sab upar rehna single ke liye sare” (Everyone come up the field, he is going to take a single)

Kuldeep : “Me nhi lunga” (I will not take a single)

Rishabh : “Kha le Maa kasam nhi lega (Swear on your mother you won’t do it)
