Rishabh Pant has been the man for India in recent times. His prolific performances have led India to a win. We all remember his fantabulous performance in the Test series against England and Australia. Things this time were no different for the young wicketkeeper. Pant emerged as one of the top trends on social media with that one six he slammed to Jofra Archer which was a reverse sweep but was quite an unbelievable shot. The netizens were zapped with the reverse sweep he played during the fifth ball of the third over. This also included former England captain Kevin Pietersen, Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders.

The video of the shot by Pant went viral on social media. The netizens just could not get over the shot and they posted tweets on social media bout the same. India is having quite a tough time in the middle right now. KL Rahul got out on the score of 1 whereas, Virat Kohli's poor outing continued. Shikhar Dhawan also made his way to the pavilion on a minuscule score. With this, Rishabh Pant's six was quite a respite for the home team.
Now, let's have a look at the video of the shot and the reactions by netizens below.
