IND Vs BAN: "Why are you hitting me?" Rishabh Pant's LIVE confrontation with Bangladeshi player turns heated
In a dramatic turn of events during the first day of the India-Bangladesh Test match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, a heated exchange occurred between Bangladesh wicketkeeper Litton Das and Indian keeper Rishabh Pant. The incident arose after Litton Das accidentally threw the ball at Pant, leading to a confrontation that has since gone viral on social media.
The altercation took place during the 16th over of the innings. Litton Das caught a delivery from Taskin Ahmed and aimed the ball towards Pant, striking him. In response, Pant confronted Das in Hindi, questioning, "Why are you throwing the ball at me? Give it to the other fielder." This interaction quickly escalated as Das appeared to engage in a verbal exchange with Pant, attempting to disrupt his focus.

The Bangladesh team aimed to unsettle Pant, who was trying to stabilize the innings after India lost quick wickets, including those of star players Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli. Pant, along with Yashasvi Jaiswal, managed to build a significant partnership for the Indian team.
India had chosen to bat first but found themselves in trouble early on, losing three wickets within the first ten overs. Rohit Sharma was dismissed for just 6 runs, while Gill did not score, and Kohli also fell for 6. However, Pant and Jaiswal's partnership provided some stability to the innings. Pant scored 39 runs before he was dismissed after playing a poor shot, and Jaiswal went on to make 56 runs before losing his wicket.
As the match continues, cricket fans and analysts alike are keeping an eye on the performance of both teams, as the on-field tensions add another layer of excitement to the ongoing series.
