'Baadal Bhi Aa Rahe Hai': Rishabh Pant's Hilarious Stump-Mic Moment Goes Viral As Dark Clouds Loom During IND vs SL 1st Test | Video

Rishabh Pant continued to amuse fans with his humorous stump-mic comments during the first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Galle. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter warned his teammates with the remark, “Bhai chalo chalo jaldi wahan se baadal bhi aa rahe hai,” as dark clouds loomed over the Galle International Stadium. The comment came amidst a rain-affected Test where weather interruptions had already significantly impacted the game.

Rain had delayed the start of play and also disrupted proceedings during India’s innings. Aware of the impending weather, Pant seemed to encourage his teammates to capitalize on the limited playing time. Pant, known for his lively presence behind the stumps, scored a brisk 39 runs in India’s first innings before being dismissed by Sri Lanka’s debutant Keshara Nuwantha.

India concluded their innings at 462, with Devdutt Padikkal's impressive 167 and Dhruv Jurel's half-century securing a solid total. Pant is famous for his dynamic demeanor at the crease and his frequent banter with players on the field. His latest stump-mic moment gained attention because his prediction about the approaching clouds coincided with genuine rain concerns in Galle.

As rain continued to disrupt the Test, Pant’s light-hearted remark added another memorable chapter to the already eventful contest. India eventually gained a significant 178-run lead in the first innings after Sri Lanka were dismissed for 284, with Manav Suthar and Ravindra Jadeja claiming seven wickets together.
