WATCH: On the very first day, Australian players mess with Rishabh Pant, pull his leg regarding the upcoming IPL 2025 auction
New Delhi: The five-match Test series between India and Australia has started. The bowlers dominated on the first day. On the basis of the excellent performance of Josh Hazlewood and other bowlers, Australia has wrapped up the Indian innings at a score of 150 in the first Test match at Optus Stadium. The Indian batsmen were disappointed once again. Nitish Reddy and Rishabh Pant scored the most runs for India. During the Indian innings, Australian players Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Marsh were seen pulling the leg of Indian batsman Rishabh Pant.
During the Indian innings, Australia’s star cricketer Nathan Lyon tried to distract Rishabh Pant. He was seen talking to him about the upcoming IPL mega auction. This mega auction will be held in Jeddah on 24 and 25 November, which will take place during the third and fourth days of the Test match between India and Australia. Nathan Lyon asked Rishabh Pant which team he is going to after the IPL auction. Pant smiled and said that he didn’t know. Australian players know that if Pant stays on the crease for too long, he can prove to be dangerous. That’s why Mitchell was also seen talking to Nathan as well.
Rishabh Pant has been released by Delhi Capitals ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. The franchise added Axar Patel (16.5 crores), Kuldeep Yadav (13.5 crores), Tristan Stubbs (10 crores) and Abhishek Porel to the team for 4 crores.
SOUND Just two old friends meeting!
