Rishabh Pant and his banter with his teammates in airports goes hand in hand. As the Indian team flew out of Mumbai to Dubai for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the wicketkeeper was caught reading horoscopes of his teammates including captain Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya, the video of which went viral on social media.
In the video shared by BCCI, the Indian cricketers, after their thumping 3-0 ODI series win over England, looked in great spirits as they landed in Dubai. Upon landing, Rishabh Pant with a newspaper in hand showed the horoscope of Rohit Sharma. The Indian captain was left in splits after reading his own.
The wicketkeeper-batter then turned to Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel, asking for their birth dates and read out their horoscopes. The 27-year-old also did the same with Hardik Pandya, who joined the trio a bit late.
Star batter Virat Kohli chose to stay focussed as captured in the video. However, the most notable absentee was pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who was ruled out at the last moment due to his back injury. The 31-year-old had injured his back during India’s fifth Test in Sydney against Australia last month and is yet to regain full fitness.
