India vs England, 3rd Test: WATCH – Stuart Broad’s nasty send-off to Test debutant Rishabh Pant

The audacity with which Rishabh Pant walked down the track to wrist spinner Adil Rashid and hoisted him for a six, his first scoring shot in Test cricket, was the highlight of day one of the third Test between India and England  at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Saturday.

On Sunday, Pant resuming batting on 22, could only add two runs to his overnight total before Stuart Broad castled the Delhi wicketkeeper batsman and the England veteran took his shot at the 20-year-old, probably for the audacious hit yesterday, bad mouthing the youngster with the choicest of words.

On commentary, former Indian opener Sanjay Manjrekar was not amused and highlighted Broad’s unsportsmanlike behaviour. To his credit, Pant was was unmoved and quietly walked back with his head down without reacting to Broad.

On social media, Broad was the fodder of the day for the Indian fans:

Stuart Broad is talking a bit too much. @RishabPant777 maybe the 2nd innings you can remind him about the @YUVSTRONG12 6 sixes. #ENGvIND

Stuart broad is so lucky to have the surname that he has. He will probably get away because the men who have to report him first have to work with his dad as well. Let’s see if any of the on field umpires have the guts to report him for his Pant send-off #cricket #EngvInd

Rishab Pant began his Test career with a six, and this douchebag Stuart Broad couldn’t fathom it. I bet he still has nightmares about Yuvi destroying him. #ENGvIND #INDvENG
