During the first session, Pant was heard saying something to KL Rahul, which was at the end of the non-strayer-and it was picked up by the Stump Mike.Pant said, “The cooked Wali Ball. It is the Khel of Khilan with Tamiz.The pants, who scored a brilliant century in the first innings, were also caught talking to the stump mike in Hindi. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter was heard a little running in this innings, calming himself and avoiding taking unnecessary risks.“Wes Zaruri is Nahi (this is not important). Marna is to seedha lag jaga na next ball (if you want to hit, do it directly with the next ball). Zabardasti Kar Raha Hai (you are trying to score tremendously), “Pant was caught saying.At the other end, KL Rahul put on a masterclass in timing and composition, as India reached 153 for three for lunch in 4 days.
