‘Just Happens With Me, Man’: Rishabh Pant’s Candid Explanation About Losing Grip On Bat While Batting Amid IND vs ENG 2025 Test Series; Video

Team India keeper-batter Rishabh Pant opened up on the bat slipping away from his hand amid the ongoing Test series against England. Ahead of the decisive third Test against England at the Lord’s Cricket Ground, the 27-year-old simply said ‘it just happens with me, man’.

Team India’s second innings of the second Test at Edgbaston saw Pant’s bat slip out of his grip twice. The first instance occurred off the bowling of right-arm seamer Josh Tongue when he attempted a slog sweep and the willow flew to square leg without hitting the ball. The second instance took place against Shoaib Bashir as Pant came down the wicket and eventually holed out to long-on.

With Dinesh Karthik interviewing Pant for Sky Sports before the 3rd Test, Pant told the former cricketer:

“Personally, for me, I don’t think about that, to throw away my bat. At the same time, when I’m in the moment, it just happens with me man. Moment happens, everything happens, I’m not too focussed in how it’s happening rather than just letting it flow.”
