WATCH : Indian keeper Pant hilariously runs in wrong direction as ball flies over his head

There is absolutely no dull moment on the field when Rishabh Pant is behind the stumps

The incident happened on the third ball of the over when Ollie Pope was facing Ravichandran Ashwin who bowled a full toss which the batsman top-edged. For a few seconds, Rishabh Pant gave an impression that Pope had top-edged the delivery just near him and an easy catch was there to take.

The ball, however, had flown behind him but it took him some time before he could realize it. In the meantime, the ever-excited wicketkeeper was seen running in front of the stumps in order to catch the ball only to realize that the ball was nowhere near him. By the time Rishabh Pant realised it, Rohit Sharma, who was fielding at leg slip, ran to collect the ball as Pope and Joe Root ran a double. (CricTracker)
