Rohit Reacts And Gives Wry Smile Seeing Pant’s Kip-Up

India and Australia recently played a highly dramatic limited-overs encounter. After getting 0-2 down in the series, the Kangaroos bounced back and won it 3-2. The away series win will give a huge boost to the Aussies before the World Cup 2019.

Among the Indian cricketers, Rishabh Pant caught the fans’ eyes for his acrobatic skills. He is always known for his energetic and athletic self on the field. Pant is one of the fittest members of the squad and seems to be a WWE fan.

In the 48th over of the Aussie innings in the 5th ODI, Pant did the famous ‘kip-up’ stunt. The stunt was made famous by WWE legend and four-times world champion Shawn Michaels. He would often do the kip-up and jump to a standing position from a supine one. This move garnered many fans’ attention.
