'Superman Pant' Catches Two In The Air To Bring England Down

Rishabh Pant has been subject to great criticism for his wicketkeeping ability in his Test career so far. 

Before the start of England's tour of India, it was assumed that Wridhhiman Saha will don the gloves in the test matches. Yet, the Indian team management backed Pant to keep wickets on 'tough' surfaces. 

On day 2 of the second test, Rishabh Pant was seen flying behind the stumps like a superman. He pulled off two marvelous catches as India bowled out England for 134. 

 

The first one was off Mohammad Siraj's first ball of the match. Ollie Pope tried to flick the delivery but got an edge that went in the air fast. Rishabh Pant had to jump on his left to grab a stunning catch.

The second one was an outside edge that went fast and Pant had to bank on his reflexes to pull that off giving Ishant Sharma his second wicket of the innings.
