The ongoing Test match between India and England looks firmly poised in favor of the hosts thanks to two excellent performances. Firstly, a scintillating knock of 161 from opener Rohit Sharma on a turning day 1 pitch that set the tone for the day and later, an all-round display from Ravichandran Ashwin that saw him pick up a five-wicket haul and then follow it up by scoring a century with the bat.

Amidst the serious action on the field, there were some funny moments during the course of the match however, with most of them coming from wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant and the way the Indian seniors talk to him. One such moment was when Rohit Sharma jokingly slapped the wicket-keeper while celebrating a wicket.
