NEW DELHI: Wicket-keepers are known to be livewires on the field. One of their unofficial tasks is to cheer up their teammates when the shoulders are down.
And Rishabh Pant is known for this. He is quite 'chirpy' behind the stumps and always tends to be over-excited whether asking for a review for going for a catch.

And then comes captain Rohit Sharma who is quite laidback in his attitude and tends to take things easily, which reflects in his batting also and even makes his lazy elegance look stylish.

A quite hilarious moment occurred during the India-Afghanistan Super 8 T20 World Cup match that India won by 47 runs on Thursday.
Kuldeep Yadav bowled the 11th over of the Afghanistan run chase and Gulbadin Naib mishit the second delivery high up in the air over the covers.
Pant ran from behind the stumps shouting "mine, mine". Rohit who could have also gone for the catch, remained stationed at his position hardly moving an inch.

To Pant's credit, he made the catch look simple but he had to cover some distance while keeping his eyes on the ball.
And to Rohit's credit, he chose not to disturb Pant in taking the catch and in his typical style seemed to have said, "All yours".
As Pant completed the catch, he even threw the ball to his skipper who still didn't catch it!
The International Cricket Council (ICC) shared a video of the moment on their Instagram handle:
