Rishabh Pant hit two hundreds against England. He scored 134 runs first inning, then he made 118 runs. Fans loved watching him bat so well.
But Pant did something crazy after his second hundred. He jumped up and did a flip in the air. People called it a somersault. The crowd went wild when they saw it.
Some fans thought it was awesome. Others got scared he might get hurt. His doctor was one of those worried people.
The Doctor Who Saved His Life Speaks Up
Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala treated Pant after his bad car crash. The crash happened two years ago in December. Pant almost died that day. The doctor worked hard to save him. Now the same doctor saw Pant’s celebration on TV. He thinks the flip was not needed.
“Rishabh trained as a gymnast. Although he looks large, he is quite agile, and he does have a lot of flexibility. And, that’s why he’s been doing those somersaults of late. It’s a well-practiced and perfected move – unnecessary though!” Doctor said.
Pant learned gymnastics when he was young. That’s why he can flip so easily. But doctors always worry about their patients getting hurt again.
