Watch: “Aise hota hai bhai yaar” – Rishabh Pant mocks Axar Patel with the Khaby impression

In spite of only recently joining the squad, Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant and all-rounder Axar Patel have already made a good impression on social media. Teammates on and off the field, the duo have been posting images of their happy moments on social media.

Using an impression of the short-video content creator Khabane Lame, commonly known as ‘Khaby’, Pant mocked Patel via his Instagram story on Wednesday. The video shows Patel missing a shot at the basketball hoop. Standing opposite him, the skipper makes a perfect shot and then puts his hand out with a poker face in light-hearted exasperation. His caption “Ase hota hai bhai yaar” (This is how you do it, brother) said the rest. You can watch it here.

You can watch another clip, posted soon after the first, where Pant missed an attempted Lay-Up. Patel, lying on a couch nearby, gestured that he missed it by a small margin. Both players joined the team at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel on Tuesday. The duo were part of India’s recent two-Test home series against Sri Lanka, which the hosts won 2-0.

Rishabh Pant scored 185 runs at an average of 61.67 from three innings in the rubber. Meanwhile, Axar Patel played only the second Test and picked up three wickets. The two players won’t have to undergo quarantine. They have been given a bubble-to-bubble transfer between the two hotels and can start training soon. However, the likes of Prithvi Shaw, Kuldeep Yadav and KS Bharat, who also recently joined, will undergo three-day quarantine before training.
