Sydney: Team India’s wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant gave a terse reply to the crowd who were teasing him with Bollywood actor Urvashi Rautela’s name.
Pant found himself at the center of a controversy after Rautela, in an interview with a Bollywood portal in August this year, claimed that a certain “RP” waited for hours to meet her in a hotel lobby in Delhi. Some mischief-mongers have refused to put an end to the topic since then.
A video is now going viral on social media platforms, where some members of the crowd are seen teasing Pant using the actor’s name. The keeper-batter is currently in Australia for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022.
In the clip, Pant is seen walking by behind the boundary rope. Upon spotting him, a person from the crowd can be heard telling the young cricketer:
“Bhai, Urvashi bula rahi hai (Brother, Urvashi is calling).”
A visibly frustrated Pant hit back and commented:
“Jaake lele phir (Go and take then).”
Public : Rishabh bhai Urvashi bula rhi
Rishabh Pant : "Jaake lele phir"PLEASE GUYS IT'S WRONG DON'T DO THIS……. 🙏🙏#ViratKohli𓃵 #RishabhPant #INDvsENG #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/EzEf15Hjhm
