Rishabh Pant has always been known for his infectious energy and unfiltered humour on the cricket field. During the first unofficial Test between India A and South Africa A, the wicketkeeper once again stole the spotlight, not with his batting or catching, but with his words. A stump-mic clip featuring Pant’s witty remark quickly went viral, reminding fans why he remains one of the most entertaining characters in world cricket.

Rishabh Pant’s banter wins over fans again

The moment unfolded when India A were trying to apply pressure on South Africa A’s batters in Bengaluru.

His cheeky challenge, asking the bowler to “deliver six proper balls”, drew laughter from teammates and became an instant hit among fans once the audio surfaced online.

While the comment was light-hearted, it also reflected Pant’s leadership instincts. The 27-year-old wicketkeeper often uses humour to ease tension, motivate bowlers, and keep the atmosphere in the middle relaxed. His easy rapport with teammates has been one of his trademarks, both for India and during domestic games.

Fans on social media were quick to react, calling Pant’s remark a “classic” example of his on-field personality. Many highlighted how his voice behind the stumps adds character and entertainment to every match he plays. Over the years, Pant’s stump-mic one-liners have become almost as famous as his explosive batting, from witty exchanges in international Tests to playful digs in the IPL.

"Zyaada fielder nahin hai outside mein. Dalta reh apna koi nahin. Thodi der dande pe daalo koi problem nahin. Maarne do. Tang mat do. Relax hoke daal. Shabaash. Rhythm pakadne ko dekho. Aa jaayega ek aad over mein. Pareshan mat ho," said Pant in the stump mic.
