Team India keeper-batter Rishabh Pant was hilariously seen interacting with the Indian women's cricketers while his other teammates were speaking to King Charles III at the St. James' Palace in London, a day after the Lord's Test against England. A video of the same surfaced on social media as Pant was in a jovial mood with the Indian women's team.
The Indian women's cricket team is also currently in England for the limited-overs leg. The women in blue registered a historic T20 series victory on English soil and the three-game ODI rubber begins on July 16 in Southampton. The men's side are currently trailing the five-Test series against England by 2-1 after three matches.

Rishabh Pant expected to play in the fourth Test in Manchester
Amid doubts surrounding the 27-year-old's availability for the crucial fourth Test in Manchester, a Sky Sports report claimed that the keeper-batter is set to play in the fixture. Additionally, Jasprit Bumrah is also likely to feature, meaning the right-arm speedster could miss the final game at the Oval.
Pant suffered a finger injury while keeping in England's first innings and walked off the field eventually, with Dhruv Jurel keeping wickets. The left-hander also looked in visible comfort amid his knock of 74 in the first innings and didn't keep wickets in England's second innings.
He was dismissed by Jofra Archer cheaply on day five as India went on to lose by 22 runs, thereby conceding a 2-1 series lead.
