On Friday, a video went viral on social media where Bollywood actor Urvashi Rautela could be seen being asked awkward questions regarding the star of the Indian cricket team. Rishabh pants and Pakistani bowler Naseem Shah. The questions ranged from marriage to talking about crushes. The actor looked quite embarrassed while answering the questions and gave very short answers. Last year, when Pant suffered a horrific accident, Rautela had called him “the pride of India” and wished him a speedy recovery.
In the viral video, the conversation went as follows.
“There is a comment: 'Rishabh Pant respects you a lot. We will be happy if you marry him,'” the anchor asked.
“No comment,” the actor replied.
Next, he was asked to choose a hashtag for Pakistani bowler Naseem Shah. Urvashi replied, “#Bowler.”
The presenter then said that the bowler was very popular in India and Pakistan because of his good looks. To which Urvashi Rautela replied, “As long as you do the work, everything is fine.”
The presenter further said that he has become a real 'crush' among the girls. To which the actor just smiled and replied: “Yes.”
Rishabh Pant was recently selected for the T20 World Cup. Despite being the No.1 choice for wicketkeeper, Sanju Samson was chosen as the second wicketkeeper. BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar said Thursday KL Rahul missed out on a place in the Indian team because they were looking for 'guys' who could bat in the middle, paving the way for the inclusion of Sanju Samson as the team's second wicketkeeper.
“KL is a great player. The fact is we were looking for guys who bat in the middle and at the moment KL is batting at the top. We think Sanju (Samson) has the ability to come down the order if necessary. Rishabh ( Pant) batting at No.5 was more of a reflection.
“It wasn't about whether KL was better or these guys were better. It was about the slots we needed (to fill) and we felt like these two were better equipped at this point or had spent time towards the latter part of the innings, which might be required in the World Cup,” Agarkar said.
