Ever since Gautam Gambhir took over as head coach, many batsmen have been seen bowling. A glimpse of this was seen on the Sri Lanka tour. Now Rishabh Pant's name has been included in this list. Pant, who showed his skills in wicketkeeping and batting in the Chennai Test, is now seen practicing bowling. Actually, before the second Test to be held in Kanpur, the Indian team had reached for the net session. During this, Pant made Shubman Gill practice leg spin. In such a situation, fans have started asking the question whether Pant will also bowl now?

Will Pant bowl in Kanpur?

The Kanpur pitch helps spin bowlers. In such a situation, the Indian team would definitely want to have the option of spin bowling. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are already playing as the main spinners in the team. At the same time, Shubman Gill can bowl off spin and Yashasvi Jaiswal can bowl leg spin if needed. Pant already has the responsibility of wicketkeeping and batting. In such a situation, there is little hope that Pant will bowl in Kanpur. According to the report, in the first training session, Pant and Gill were the last to reach for practice. Then this scene was seen.

What happened in the first training session?

The first training session of the Kanpur Test was held on 25 September. The Indian team arrived at around 12 noon. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan were the first to come for practice. Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli arrived a little late for practice. Both spent very little time in the nets. Kohli knocked for a while and then left. When he returned, he batted for a long time. During this, Akshar Patel also bowled him. He was also seen struggling against Ashwin and Bumrah's balls.

On the other hand, Jaiswal sweated the most in the nets. Rohit Sharma spent a lot of time with him and also gave some tips to Jaiswal during practice. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant were the last to come for practice. In the pictures that have emerged from the Kanpur ground, fast bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and head coach Gautam Gambhir were seen. The atmosphere of the Indian camp seemed very light and cheerful. Jadeja and Virat were seen having a lot of fun with each other.
