In a recent cricket match against Bangladesh, Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant left legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar in splits with his humorous "helmet se LBW" comment.

What Happened: Pant’s amusing remark was picked up by the stump mic during the second Test match in Kanpur. The incident took place in the second session of the opening day when Ravichandran Ashwin was bowling the 33rd over to Bangladesh batter Mominul Haque.

Pant, known for his banter behind the stumps, made a cheeky comment about Mominul’s height. “Idhar se LBW le sakte hai helmet se. Helmet se ek LBW le sakte hai bhai (We can get him out LBW even on the helmet,)” Pant was heard saying in the video, which has since gone viral on social media.

Gavaskar and Dinesh Karthik, who were commentating at the time, found Pant’s comment hilarious. Gavaskar chuckled and said, “Only Rishabh Pant can think like that.”

Despite the day being cut short by rain, Mominul ended the day unbeaten on 40(81), with Mushfiqur Rahim (6*) at the other end. The pair took Bangladesh to 107/3. The start of play on Day 2 has been delayed due to adverse weather conditions.
