Watch: Shane Warne, O’Keeffe make fun of Rishabh pant’s sunglasses

Rishabh Pant was once again the center of attraction of the commentary team of Fox Cricket as former Australian great Shane Warne and former Australian Test player Kerry O'Keeffe made fun of the Indian wicket-keeper and his sunglasses. 

Terming it as something ‘very unattractive’ the two commentators said that the bright fluorescent yellow shades of Pant were 'straight out of the service station'. The Video of the interaction between the two commentators was posted by BT Sports on Twitter. 

“What do you think of those shades that Rishabh Pant is rocking Skull? “Straight out of the service station?” Warne is heard asking O’Keeffe. “They are servos aren’t they?” O’Keeffe replied. “And he bought flowers as well,” he continued. “No, they are not getting me. You would want them to get scratched so you can just put them in the bin.” “Would you like fly buys with those?” he added. 

In the entire video, the two can be heard laughing while discussing the shades. Pant though hit an extremely brilliant 97 runs in a game-saving chase by the Indian team at Brisbane. 

Team India, however, did extremely well during the second day’s play at the Gabba, Brisbane to crawl their way back into the game until Rohit Sharma’s brain fade short got him out and Team India was left with two of the most experienced players in skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara at the crease at the end of day’s play.

Speaking about the new entrants, Habibul Bashar, Bangladesh selector said, "Whether they play or not, we want them to adjust in the dressing room quickly. Hasan Mahmud and Mahedi Hasan have played for Bangladesh, but Shoriful is the total newcomer. We want to give them the experience since we believe they are our future.” Former skipper and a Member of Bangladeshi Parliament, Mashrafe Mortaza, fast bowlers Al-Amin Hossain and Shafiul Islam along with young opener Mohammad Naim are the prominent names missing from the team which last played international matches against Zimbabwe in March 2020. Speaking on 33-year-old Shakib’s availability Bashar said, "Shakib and Mushfiqur [Rahim] are our genuine allrounders, which many teams don't have.
