In a bizarre incident, a fan tried to take a dig at wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant and infuriate him. An infuriated Pant also gives it back to the fan in his own language.Now, the video of the incident has been going viral on social media after a Twitter user shared it on the microblogging site.
In the video, Pant can be seen walking near the boundary line. Meanwhile, a fan provoked him by taking actress Urvashi Rautela’s name.
As someone records the video, the fan shouts, “Bhai, Urvashi Bula Rahi Hai,” as his friends laugh in the background. This infuriates Pant who shouts back, “Jaake Lele Phir,” and walks away.
However, the video has not gone well with Pant fans who demanded action against the fan. They also asked him to take down the now viral video from Twitter.
An angry Twitter user wrote, “Wahiyat log. Looks like Virat's message of not treating cricketers like commodity has fallen on deaf ears." a user tweeted.
Another user wrote, “He’s clearly not enjoying this! Ye sab Mt Karo yaar,” while another wrote, “BCCI pls raise a complaint & get this guy banned from the stadium next time. And request to all fans going to watch next match if you see this guy pls make life hell for him.”
Another fan commented, “This is just disgusting, he represents our country at least give some respect to his personal life even u troll his cricket.”
Similarly, a fifth user wrote, “Don’t do this. He is clearly not liking it. These things are good for our laugh. This might be affecting him.”
For the uninitiated, Urvashi and Pant have been hogging the limelight after the former revealed that a certain ‘RP’ had come to meet her in a hotel.
Retaliating back, Pant wrote "who lie in interviews" and are "thirsty for fame". It soon went viral and sparked a debate on social media.
"It's funny how people lie in interviews just for some meagre popularity and for hitting the headlines. Sad how some people are so thirsty for fame and name. May God bless them," Pant wrote. He added hashtags like #merapichachorhoBehen #Jhutkibhilimithotihai
While the topic has been in the domain for a while, both Pant and Urvashi haven't made any direct comments on each other.
On the professional front, Rishabh Pant was benched for India's first four games of the ongoing T20 World Cup. He then finally got his chance to play against Zimbabwe, but failed to stamp his authority, scoring just three runs.
