[WATCH] ENG vs. IND 2025: Rishabh Pant uses a huge six to smash the roof of Kent County Stadium

During a practice session that rocked Kent County Cricket Ground, wicketkeeper-batter and vice-captain Rishabh Pant hit a huge six ahead of India’s five-match series against England.

The incident happened while India was training at the Kent ground. The squad is training there in addition to their previous sessions at the storied Lord’s Cricket Ground. In the nets, facing off-spinner Washington Sundar, the southpaw hit a slog sweep that struck the stand’s roof structure.

Rishabh Pant, who scored just 269 runs in 13 innings for the Lucknow Super Giants, is coming off a lacklustre IPL 2025 campaign.

But in the last league match, the youthful player returned to his best form, smashing an undefeated 118 off 61 balls against RCB.

The 27-year-old has a strong track record in English cricket, amassing 556 runs, including two hundreds, in nine Test matches. He is a vital part of India’s red-ball setup because of his offensive style of play. After mainstays Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired, the Indian squad is currently going through a transitional period.

The team led by Shubman Gill recently arrived in England and started practicing at Lord’s before moving some of their drills to the Kent venue, where they will play an intra-squad match against the India A squad on June 13.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, and Kuldeep Yadav comprise the Indian team.
