Rishabh Pant has been at the receiving end since the start of the T20I series. In the second T20 which was held in Mohali, Rishabh Pant played a reckless shot and got out on four runs. In the third T20I, however, things looked a little better at the start of the innings as Rishabh Pant was trying his level best to stabilise the crumbling Indian innings along with Mumbai batsman Shreyas Iyer, The 21-year-old walked into bat after Virat Kohli departed on the score of nine runs. India Vs South Africa, Cricket Score 3rd T20I Match.
The scoreboard read 73-3. Iyer and Pant jointly put up a total of 22 runs on the board. But soon it was Rishabh Pant who made way to the pavilion on the score of 19 runs. Bjorn Fortuin was the one who was handling the bowling duties and bowled on the bowler wide off the stump. The wicket-keeper batsman wanted to slam it over long-off and made way to the pavilion. Needless to say that the netizens would troll the youngster. It was Andile Phehlukwayo who made no mistake and grabbed that one quite easily. Check out a few tweets below:

Shreyas Iyer
Every disappointing innings from Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer makes KL Rahul's exclusion that much more surprising. Has proven himself in limited overs cricket on a much higher level than the younger guys.
