Team India Arrives in England: Rishabh Pant's Humorous Take on Rohit Sharma

Team India Touches Down in England

The Indian cricket team, featuring Shubman Gill, has landed in England ahead of the much-anticipated Test series. Alongside Gill, prominent players such as Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah have also made the journey, as showcased in a video shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). During this time, Rishabh Pant made a light-hearted comment regarding Rohit Sharma, which caught the attention of fans.

Rishabh Pant's Witty Comment

Following the conclusion of IPL 2025, players bid farewell to their franchises and headed to the airport for their flight to England. When asked by the media if he would miss Rohit Sharma, India's wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant humorously replied, "I’ll miss walking in the garden." This quip references a previous remark made by Rohit during the 2024 Test series, where he jokingly referred to some players as 'garden walkers' due to their relaxed demeanor. This comment has since gained traction on social media.

New Faces in the Team

The IPL 2025 season brought unexpected news with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announcing their retirement from Test cricket. In light of this, new players such as Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, and Karun Nair have been selected to join the squad. With the absence of Rohit and Kohli, Shubman Gill is stepping up as the Test captain, marking a new chapter for the Indian team during their tour in England.
