Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has become the first Asian to score a century in both Tests and ODI on English soil thanks to his game-winning innings against England in the last ODI. With this, Pant has joined the group of wicketkeeper-batters who have achieved a century in an ODI outside of Asia, including Rahul Dravid and KL Rahul.
While people from all over the world were busy praising him, the wicketkeeper-batsman sparked a buzz on Twitter by sharing stylish photos of himself. In the photos, he was wearing a white t-shirt, matching shorts, sneakers, and a chain around his neck.

While sharing photos, he captioned,
“Aur hum ek naya niyam add kar rahe hain, Mirzapur ki gaddi pe baithne wala kabhi bhi niyam badal sakta hai – Munna Bhaiya.”

In English, it means, “I’m introducing a fresh rule. The ruler of Mirzapur has the authority to alter the laws whenever they like.”
The actor Divyenndu, who played the well-known role of “Munna Tripathi,” also known as “Munna Bhaiya,” on the show Mirzapur, is responsible for making this remark popular.

In the last ODI of the three-match series in Manchester, Rishabh Pant’s unbeaten 125* and his 133-run stand with Hardik Pandya enabled India to chase down 260 and win the series 2-1. Thanks to outstanding spells from Hardik Pandya (4/24) and Yuzvendra Chahal (3/60), England was dismissed for 259 runs. For the home team, Jos Buttler (60), Jason Roy (41) and Moeen Ali (34) made some significant contributions.
Reece Topley decimated India’s top order as they chased 260 and had them at 72/4, but Pandya and Pant put up a match-winning partnership of 133 runs to win it. So, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has played in role in India’s win.
