Namibia’s batter dived at the crease and the bat ended up being under Rishabh Pant’s feet. Pant quickly touched the bat with his hand and tapped his chest with the same palm. That put a smile on my face! It is so important to respect your trade/art ❤️ #IndvsNam

@beastieboy07 Rishabh Pant apologizing and paying respect to the bat as we all Indians do if we hit something accidently is probably his best moment of the tournament so far #INDvNAM #T20WorldCup #RishabhPant
