Kolkata Knight Riders won by three wickets against Delhi Capitals to book a place in the finals of IPL 2021. While all the focus was on the breathtaking game, a small act by Rishabh Pant evoked plenty of laughs. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted to Rishabh Pant pranking the umpire in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2021.
KKR & DC involved in an excellent game of cricket
Delhi Capitals struggled on the Sharjah pitch and managed to post a score of 135-5 on the board. KKR bowlers were yet again on target as they restricted the strong batting order of Delhi.
In the chase, KKR was off to a flier and had a 96-run opening partnership. However, everything went downhill from there. The team lost a series of wickets and at one point, it almost seemed as if Delhi would pull off a heist. However, it was not to be as Rahul Tripathi struck a six and helped KKR win the game. For a team that was down and out after the first phase, it has been a dramatic turnaround to make it to the finals of IPL 2021.

Rishabh Pant is one of the most entertaining characters in the game of cricket at the moment. He is a jovial personality and always keeps the mood light. Even when he is behind the stumps, Pant has managed to carve out a space of his own. For a youngster, it was a pressure situation to be leading the team in a qualifier. However, Pant showed none of it. He was seen pranking the umpire and it was a hilarious incident. Twitter had no end laughing at it. We take a look at some of the reactions to the act below:
