Watch: Rishabh Pant joins celebration of own wicket after Ravindra Jadeja's reaction in India vs Leicestershire warm-up
Rishabh Pant slammed an entertaining knock for Leicestershire, during their ongoing warm-up Test match against India in Leicester.
Rishabh Pant played a sublime knock as he hammered 76 runs off 87 balls for Leicestershire against the Indian cricket team on Day 2 of their warm-up match, in Leicester on Friday. The swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter's knock was brought to an end by Ravindra Jadeja in the third delivery of the 46th over, after Pant got a top edge while trying to go for a big heave towards the on side but ended up providing a catch by Shreyas Iyer at long-on. Right after his dismissal, Pant was hugged by Jadeja. The other Indian cricketers also gave the Delhi Capitals' captain his fair-share of high fives as he made his way to the pavilion.

Pant joined the Indian fielders to almost celebrating his own wicket before taking the walk back to the change room.
Here is the video of Pant's dismissal and the reaction of Jadeja, Indian cricket team:
