India National Cricket Team Test vice-captain Rishabh Pant has made a massive 'Jasprit Bumrah' revelation ahead of the Lord's Test against the England National Cricket Team.
Rishabh Pant said that the only thing harder than batting against the pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is keeping wickets to him.

Bumrah featured in the first Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Headingley in Leeds, which India lost by 5 wickets, and he was rested for the second game at Edgbaston in Birmingham, where the visitors clinched a 336-run victory.
The pacer is all set to return to the India playing XI for the third Test of the five-match series at Lord's in London and is likely to replace Prasidh Krishna, who has been unimpressive in the first two games.
Ahead of the Lord's Test, Rishabh Pant attended a press conference, where he was asked what makes Bumrah so special. He replied by stating that the pacer is quite smart and added that keeping wickets to him is a nightmare.
"I think everything. I think how accurate he is, the way his mind works. I think it's just amazing. I think it's more difficult for the wicketkeeper behind the wicket than for a batsman, I guess, especially in England," Pant.
Bumrah's unorthodox action has been a key reason behind his success as a bowler, as the batters find it difficult to read him. Also, things have been tough for Pant behind the stumps because the balls move significantly after passing the bat in English conditions.

Discussions are still going on - Rishabh Pant on India XI
In the previous Test match at Edgbaston in Birmingham, India went with three pacers - Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna - and two spin-bowling all-rounders - Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja.
During the media interaction, Rishabh Pant was asked whether the Indian team will continue with this combination for the Lord's Test, and he replied:
"Discussions are still going on. But we will get to know by tomorrow (Thursday). Sometimes the wicket changes colour, the moisture will become less also. We have to see the wicket and take a call on how the wicket is doing."
I try to have a very clear mindset - Rishabh Pant
The star wicketkeeper-batsman has been in good form in the ongoing England tour as he has registered the scores of 134, 118, 25, and 65 across four innings.
Talking about his batting, Rishabh Pant said that having a clear mindset has been beneficial for him. He stated:
"I try to have a very clear mindset when I'm batting. Just playing one ball at a time, that is something which has really helped me.
"What the other team is thinking, yes, I do have an idea of what they want me to do... You have to make your own plans and just play the game."
